About Me

My bicuspid valve is faltering. All blood tests, kidneys, great-, coronary arteries are clear and excellent they tell me. I play tennis 3 times a week, work out, play golf. We are focusing not on the why, but the fix. I will have an Edwards Life Sciences Sapien 3 valve put in at the Columbia Heart Center which is part of NY Presbyterian/ Columbia Hospital.
