About Me

I have had my valve for 30 years now and it is still in good working order. I take a high dose of warfarin daily. I have looked after it by not smoking or drinking excessively. I am grateful to my surgeon for a great job done. I need to add, I suffered Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in 2012 and had to have ablation which since then has corrected it without me taking any beta blockers. It's all good 😊
