Women's Heart Alert: SMART Clinical Trial Reveals Medtronic Evolut TAVR Treatment Advantages
A bit surprised that you can hear it but if that is the way it it then so be it. I would imagine that you cannot hear it if you are wearing layers like in the winter. But can others hear if they are sitting beside you?
I am researching all options and what options may be available like the ross procedure.

I am researching all options and what options may be available like the ross procedure.
I am just starting my journey so I could only imagine what is going to happen with my mental well-being.
Keep positive my brother

“I just went in for an annual check-up. After listening to my heart, my doctor told me I had a heart murmur. I never knew I had a heart murmur, and I didn’t know much about them. The images showed that I had a severe mitral valve prolapse.
We made the decision, at the time, to keep an eye on it for a year because I had no symptoms. Based on my second echocardiogram, it was determined that my mitral valve prolapse had progressed, and it was time for surgery. Now, I am ecstatic to say that my wife and I just returned from a 10-day holiday in Saint Lucia which included four scuba dives.
Dr. Castillo-Sang gave me the confidence that I would be able to dive again, and he was 100% correct."

I now have a glorious 3 doctor-free months scheduled. The last time I had 3 months free of doctors was January - April 2024.
Cardiac rehab is also complete. I’m back to treadmilling at home, however, I think tomorrow I’m going to try a little yoga instead.

David, it’s more about my health finally being stable than the doctors. This odyssey started that April 2024 when I decided to get a new GP because I wasn’t getting good enough care from the island clinic. I went in for blood pressure medicine and discovered I had a heart issue. She put me on lisinopril, which kicked me off Naproxen, & triggered a massive PsA flare that took another year to diagnose. I’m still dealing with problems in my hands from that PsA flare.
My heart is finally stable and might improve a little over the next 8 months. My PsA is finally stable, is slowly improving, & I get another medication this month. I’m optimistic for a more normal 2026.

I was same with BAV and stenosis. At 66 in 2024, I had SAVR.
You will do fantastic as you sound like you’ve always been in shape. I did a lot of Sprint triathlons and have been a swimmer since I was 3. Being athletic and aware of your body makes you ready and able for surgery. Good luck, recover well. Beth"
