About Me

My valve is calcified and I am told that I need to replace it. All this was diagnosed many years ago. Since I was not having any symtoms I carried on till now. Now only if I walk fast or run I feel uneasy and have to slow down. I can do everything else at home with no symtoms. It's only when I walk or run fast. I am meeting with the surgeon on March 6, 2015. My first meeting with him. Can somebody be kind enough to tell me which valve (brand) tissue valve is good and reliable. I'd appreciate it.
