Welcome to the Heart Valve Surgery sitemap. My name is Adam Pick and I have had aortic and pulmonary valve replacements.

I wrote the book, The Patient's Guide To Heart Valve Surgery, and created this website to help heart valve surgery patients and caregivers better understand the realities of heart valve surgery.

This specific webpage has been developed as a reference guide to help you navigate through all of the information on this website.

Alternatively, you can read my book which is filled with eighteen chapters of useful information, tips and tricks for enhancing the heart valve surgery process for both patients and caregivers. Click here to learn more about my book.

Cheers!

Adam
