Seems like high DHA might be the issue with Afib. I'll do some searching on LCpharmD's posts - hope she moves to mastodon.

" The time course of PIEZO1 inactivation is prolonged by docosahexaenoic acid but reduced by eicosapentaenoic acid. Thus, the net effect will be determined in part by the docosahexaenoic acid:eicosapentaenoic acid ratio. A docosahexaenoic acid–predominant effect would result in PIEZO1 gain-of-function and increased influx of calcium and other cations (Figure [B]). Collectively, these changes would (1) prolong the action potential duration and increase the propensity for delayed after-depolarizations to trigger AF and (2) promote calcium-dependent signaling."

FWIW I have found that I can take more fish oil w/o excessive bleed time if I take 100 mcg of K1 daily. The K1 also helps with palpitations whereas K2 seemed to worsen them.

Oh inflammatory macrophages,
You swell and scar the heart's passages
Your unchecked activity
Leads to affliction, you see
But now there's a brighter outlook, alas

more than once.

A customer in the parking lot even came to help. Opened the door and took a few boxes off.

When we got on the door, other clerks were all, "There are carts there" thinking they were being helpful.

🤬

I was so out of breath doing the returns (still in my #Mask) from all of that... I'm still livid. I'm abled except for #LongCovid #PEM #aFib and #OutOfBreath and all I could think of, & vocalized more than once..

Stark reminder not to take #HeartHealth for granted. After a couple of nights on the tiles last weekend, my body went into #AFib / #AtrialFibrillation. Something it's not done in ages. So I've not been able to #run and have been back on the #BetaBlockers. Stupid ageing body. It's so finely calibrated and turns out I can't party like I used to without consequences. So have had the whole week off and am going to very gently attempt #ParkRun this morning. The #running is the only thing that gets it under control, but my body won't allow me to run until I get my heart rate down! Normally takes a minute. Fellas.... Look after yourselves and don't take your #health for granted. Because it's a pain in the ass when you're in a constant battle for it.

“Marine and dietary omega-3 FA consumption lowered AF risk non-linearly; however, additional studies that include individuals of different ages, races, and ethnicities, more female representation, and multiple FFQs to assess dietary changes over time, are needed to improve the generalizability of the study findings. Future studies may also use objective patient-level information, such as electrocardiograms to capture more atrial fibrillation episodes.” #ISOGG #AFIB #DNA https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230622/Omega-3-fatty-acids-linked-to-lower-atrial-fibrillation-risk-in-US-veterans.aspx

Hello 👋 Toronto @ismrm ! Come say hi at computer 🖥️ #90 Thursday 0915h #AFib #WhyCMR #ISMRM

Did you know that #yoga & #meditation can help manage #atrialfibrillation? @peterkistler3 has found potential mechanisms linking #stress & #AFib, and says there's increasing evidence that relaxation methods can help. @OzCvA

Here we see the example of #HeartFailure and #Afib drug trial enrollment over the last 10 years. Orange bars (trial enrollees) and green bars (prevalence in the population) should line up. But we're missing the oldest old by a mile.

Missed #Caturday due to recovering from ablation procedure on Friday. Here’s Madeleine (aka Maddie Cat) being the best recovery buddy. And hopefully no more #afib events (eventually) 🤞😸

Do you use apixaban in patients with #AFib and #ESRD? This new trial looked at lower-dose apixaban 2.5 bid vs VKA. Similar adverse event rates, but note the high rate of bleeding in both arms! #ACForum23

@DrFriendless Getting reassurance is good. I have #AFib which still freaks me out. Gotta have a healthy #heart
