Tina's Profile

I was diagnosed with an arrythmia earlier this year, after further testing and switching to a different cardiologist, I just learned that I have severe mitral valve regurgitation. I am told that I need to have it repaired, although I don't know what type of surgery it will be yet. I am scheduled for the cardiac cath on September 1st and the CT scan on the 10th. I'm told these will provide more information on how to proceed. I don't know how long I've had this issue but I'm glad to be getting it taken care of. I've never been big on going to the doctor much over the years, maybe that's why it wasn't caught sooner. I'm pretty healthy in general, 55 years old, raising my youngest 2 sons , enjoying my early retirement from nursing.
