By Adam Pick on October 10, 2012

Starting tomorrow, I’ll be at the Heart Valve Summit in Chicago, Illinois. During the conference, I will be very fortunate to meet with several physicians that specialize in heart valve treatment including Dr. McCarthy, Dr. Chitwood, Dr. Bolling and Dr. Adams.

How common is it for Robotic Mitral Valve repair to fail, and what are the most common reasons. Would a minimally envasive sternatomy proceedure be best for a re-repair instead of robotic?

Aorta valve replacement and cold weather. I am 80 years old. Fairly fit. I have an aorta valve replacement. Will playing golf in cold weather be a bad thing to do? Increase blood pressure….? Always windy in the golf course I play at – bit of windchill. It is sometimes below freezing, often about eight centigrade. Looking at a windchill chart, eight centigrade and 10 mph wind (which is not much) would feel like around seven centigrade!
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
