Gilbert's Profile

I found out that I had a mitral valve regurgitation in 2000 when I was required to have a physical for a gym that I wanted to join in Munster, Germany while I was on sabbatical. In 2002 an echocardiogram showed that I had moderate to severe regurgitation. I have regularly had echocardiograms since then and now have severe regurgitation. Mitral valve repair is required before my heart becomes damaged. I have made arrangements with Dr. David Adams of the Mitral Valve Repair Center (https://www.mitralvalverepair.org/) at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan to have the repair on Monday May 16, 2011.
