Cardiac fibrosis

Hi 👋 1st time posting…
A quick background of my symptoms;
I’ve had episodes of SVT, NSVT,PVCs and Bijemny . Only on propanalol medication.
A recent increase in these Arrhythmias took me back for more tests;
ECG - showing Bijemny
7 day continuous heart monitor - showed above arrhythmias
Ctca - normal
MRI - normal - apart from Is the nonspecific pattern of mild intensity linear mid wall LGE/ fibrosis in the basal septum…
Now my cardiologist has said this is just part of the aging process. I’m not so sure. Yes, I googled it and it says it’s a marker for DCM and sudden cardiac death…
Now I was terrified of my ongoing symptoms, but this has taken me to another level of anxiety 😥
Has anyone been diagnosed with this type of fibrosis before? And what could cause it?
I’m now on 10 mg of bisoprolol daily
Any advice would be greatly appreciated TIA 😊

  1. ,
    Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the site!
    I'm sorry to hear your concerns (and anxiety) are taking a toll on you.
    Unfortunately, we cannot give out medical advice over the internet (for your own safety).
    I do hope others will chime in with their personal experiences.
    In the meantime, if you feel you are not not being heard (or are concerned about your current treatment) a second opinion is always an option.
    All my best, Doreen (Team Member)
