I found this information today, which is a warning about taking Plavix with

Prilosec or Nexium, because you could be at increased risk of death or another

heart attack. I was never given that warning, and I was on both, so I am

passing this on to you if you are at risk by taking both of these drugs

together. It bears further investigation.

Hi Jen,

I have atrial fibrillation since June 2003 and CML since August 2004. I take

Gleevec since June 2005. For the heart, I take Monocor, Coumadin and Rythmol.

Six month ago, my heart starts to have palpitations daily. I took one

anti-depression once and the heart return normal. Strange ?

So the cardiologist said to me to wait to have an ablation.

I am PCRU. Are you PCRU?

Regards,

Gilles

My bloodwork was actually the best it had been in over a year.

> While I was there we discussed me having a cardiac ablation done for my WPW. I

was dx 20 years ago with it. It has caused me some issues in the past. Not very

often. And now with the CML, I have heart palpitations daily.

> I met with Dr. Knight at Northwestern yesterday. He is a specialist in heart

rhythm problems. I am scheduled to have the cardiac ablation done on Dec 29th.

It is an out-patient procedure with a recovery time of one week. The only

concern that I have is that they use radiation to " kill " the extra electrial

pathway in my heart. Has anyone else had this done or something similar after

your dx with CML? I have Dr. Knight checking with my oncologist to verify that

it is safe for me. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are.
