Hi All,
I am a congenital heart patient and have had several operations over the years, but I am due to go in to Liverpool Heart And Chest Hospital (Broadgreen) for cardioversion next week. I know what the procedure is and how it works but can anyone give my any other kind of advice e.g. what i am allowed to do afterwards and any other reasurrances. xx
Shelley Hiya, my 17 week old little girl has Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), undetected in pregnancy. She had a heart op at 3 weeks old but we've just found out that there's narrowing of the pulmonary arteries near where she had a replacement valve so looks like she'll need another op in the next couple of months :( so scared xxx
