Robert's Guestbook

Robert Zambenini  I have been classed as moderate in regular echos and treadmills for last 7 years but became somewhat disenchanted with my cardio. I was close to pacemaker battery change so I changed my cardiology over to the VA as they have a very good reputation. They did an echo with IV and went in for pacemaker battery change. Surgeon said reading my echo you are not far from an aorta valve need so why don't we do a catherization today also. All that went well. I did hear the surgeon say no blockages and my results said I was still on the line for new valve. Guess I was between moderate and severe. But VA surgeon said I should get the TAVR and has referred my over to Long Beach Memorial. I see them next week. So will let you know. I am 88 and in pretty good health. Very active in walking and 2 aerobics a week from local Navy gym on Zoom.

  Look at you Robert, 88 going on 58. One of my brothers is your age. You seem to have a good doctor at the VA and referring you to Long Beach Memorial sounds like a good idea. Many of our heart warriors here have gotten the TAVR and are doing great. Please keep us posted on your journey and your appointment next week. I will pray for you to have a good appointment. Be well and God bless you
