About Me

I am 74yo with a murmur history of 56 yrs. In Nov of this yr my cardiologist at cc recommended two valve surgery because of degradation noticed in echo studies. I still can bike 20 miles and feel great without overt symptons. This is still a bit of a challenge to anticipate but it is helpful to read about others who have proceeded me on this journey. The HVS book has been an exceptional guide and comfort.
