About Me

I was diagnosed with leaky valve about 10 years ago. Recently it had got worse to the 3 out of 4 level and my heart left ventricle was mildly enlarged. I went to Cleveland Clinic and was recommended to set a date for the surgery. I'm currently trying to decide between Ozaki, Ross, and Mechanical. I really don't like the idea of having another OHS in my lifetime, but don't completely comprehend the downside of being on blood thinners forever.
