About Me (In My Own Words)
I did my mitral repair in 1986 but my aorta is also leaking but told it is mild.I did ablation in 2012 and now I have 2 different opinions from my cardiologists.The other one says I will have to do the replacement of both mitral valve and aorta in future if my mitral valve can deteriorate and cause me to be sick. At the moment is managed by chronic medicine and a blood thinner.The other cardio says , I must replace it now to avoid damage of ventricles in future.So the issue between the two is the timing difference.I am 56 years old and I have lived with this condition for the past 36 years and was diagnosed when I was 16 years.Now I am not sure which route should I choose.And this was suggested 10 years ago.
