Yes I do have a annuloplasty ring.
And in one of my echos 6 months post surgery it says that two jets where identified. One originates from the coaptation point of the leaflets (I don't know what that means) and the other originates from the posterior region of the annuloplasty ring. Does that mean the ring wasn't sewn it well?
For the next six months I am going to try to back off the intensity of my workouts and have two exchos done by two different doctors and see how it effects my regurgitation. That will be a big factor in my upcoming decisions. I've also been trying to keep my blood pressure as low as possible because that seems like it would have the same effect on the valve as a strong beating heart.
How has your recovery been?
