About Me

Rcvd a diagnosis of severe MV regurgitation in late May. Am active healthy 58 yr old male otherwise. Planning to get it repaired before I become symptomatic. Late October surgery is planned at Cleveland Clinic. I qualify for their robotic (one flavor of minimally invasive) approach and certainly leaning that way. I have time to make up my mind.
