Meet Dr. Irving Kron

Charlottesville, VA - Sponsored

Hello! My name is Dr. Irving Kron and I am a cardiac surgeon having graduated from Medical College of Wisconsin in 1975. To date, I have performed approximately 11,000 cardiac surgeries, of which 5,000 involved heart valve procedures. I regularly perform surgery at University of Virginia Medical Center. Read more...

I believe my greatest strength is my deep understanding of how a heart valve functions.

I also believe my extensive experience in researching and repairing mitral valves is a tremendous benefits to the patients I help.

I started cardiac rehab last week. Today was my 5th day and I am 7 weeks post op. I am trying hard to get better. To not get back to where I was, but better. Does anyone else ever feel like others are getting in your way of getting better? At home people are doing things for me that I can do for myself, which is nice, but I don’t need to be treated with kid gloves anymore. I went from being a very independent and adventure loving person to a dependent scared and cautious person and I don’t like the new me. I was excited to start cardiac rehab because I knew being monitored would take the fear away and I would be able to figure out what I could do on my own outside of rehab. Today was so frustrating at rehab as have been the other days because I feel like they won’t let me work to my potential. Today I started with the same speed and incline (a whopping 1%) on the treadmill as I did on Monday. Within 5 minutes they told me to take the incline to 0 and a few minutes later told me to slow the speed down. After 20 minutes I moved on to the bike and the same thing. They said they didn’t want my heart rate over 150 and it had gone to 156. I was working hard but not excessively. I could have carried on a conversation while I was going which is how I judge how hard something is. Isn’t my heart supposed to be better than it has been in a while? Isn’t it actually healed now? I had OHS AVR with a tissue valve. I have no idea how hard or easy to walk at home and feel like I can’t progress if I keep being told to slow down. I love the people at rehab and the program, too. I’m just frustrated. Anyone else have a similar situation?

Dan Baltazor  Janice, they definitely don’t want our heart rates that high. The program, at least mine, is 12 weeks long. Our hearts have been stopped, worked on and restarted. That is A LOT to ask of our hearts, so we need to be gentle in the beginning and build our hearts back up slowly. A patient at my rehab redlined during his workout on his 8-10 weeks in his program. He survived Thank God and I’m using his story as a cautionary tale. We’ll get there. They say the magic number is 3 months post op. Hang in there. ❤️💪

Hello everyone my Name is John im 64 and live in NJ , I hope you are all as well as can be, I have arrived here in search of support and comfort form those who are like mem scared of the thought of OHS death petrifies me ... I battled Prostate Cancer earlier this year and just as i was feeling better and recovering after all the treatment this ,I had severe shortness of breath and constantly tired and sometimes get lightheaded , has most of the test done and thought i had some pulmonary issues and 2 weeks ago the ECHO reveled severe mitral valve regurgitation I knew something was wrong i could barley get up a flight of starts without huffing and puffing. and my legs were swelling up a bit. yesterday the Dr redid the ECHO himself and confirmed the diagnosis. And said you need this repaired. Being a Veteran adn no other medical insurance i don't have many options but i have to say i have always been happy with my care at the VA.. I live in New Jersey they said they will send me to NYU and a Dr called Eugene Grossi at NYU Langone .. and am waiting for my appointment to meet with him to discuss my case and I assume make an appointment for the surgery. I also have afib and i have a pacemaker to boot.

I travel extensively for my work and fly very often long haul flights. so for those with some pre op experience , i have a few questions how do you deal with the extreme shortness of breath are there any tricks to help make it more manageable and take less strain off the heart .
For me as im sure for most the mental dwelling and worrying is overwhelming to think og OHS i couldn't think of anything worse to worry about .
Thank you in advance to anyone who answers and shares in my struggle , mos tof us come here because were desperate for someone to tell us were goanna be ok. My wife and family are super supportive but if yu r like me you don't want to burden them with your stress. OHS makes you think of the worse things

Brian Havlin  John-sounds like you've been through a lot lately. I don't know what to say about the shortness of breath. I haven't experienced that. What did your cardiologist say? The good news is that the mortality rate for this type of procedure is very good. So like 999 out of 1000 patients make it through. That's excellent if you ask me. It may vary from hospital and surgeon but that's what my research has uncovered. It's completely normal to feel anxious about it. As my surgeon put it, mitral valve regurgitation is a plumbing problem that can be fixed. You need a good plumber. I found out in June of this year that I was having surgery on 11/26. It was a very stressful 5 months. Looking back on it, the easiest part is showing up and having the surgery. You're asleep and don't know anything. The recovery can be challenging. I've learned that it's different for everyone. Each person experiences different things. Some people cruise right through it.
There is also a maze procedure that can be done that may help with your A fib. Make sure you ask about that. I know what you're going through. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk. I'll be praying for you.

Dan Baltazor  John - The hardest part of this is the waiting. I'm at my 4 week mark post op and can tell you that the time leading up to surgery can be stressful, but once you lay down on that pre op bed the medical team really put me at ease and I just trusted in their expertise and experience. They do this everyday. Yes the recovery can be challenging and I had my share of issues as do most patients, but we work through them one day at a time. I think you should not worry about being a burden on your family and rely on them to help you get through this journey. OHS is a big deal and we all need help from our family and friends. I sure know I have and it has helped me in so many ways! I will also be praying for you as you go on this journey.

Janice West  Hi John, I am 63 and 7 weeks post op. About shortness of breath - I was told to try to inhale through my nose and exhale through pursed lips to help get breathing back to normal. I don’t know if it really worked but it took my mind off of huffing up the steps. When I was first told I may need OHS I was “No how, no way!” I felt fine. They said my quality of life would improve and I sat there thinking my quality of life is just fine. There was no way anyone was going to crack me open. I found this group, watch several videos, one of valve replacement OHS in its entirety and finally came to a peace about it. Ultimately the choice was really to live or die. Once I accepted that I tried to make the best of the wait. I wasn’t scared going in, was at complete peace and looking forward to it being done so it would be over. I like details. I want to know what is going to happen and why. The more information I got, the more empowered I got. This forum was a proverbial life saver for me. We are here to support you and each other. Hang in there!

Marie Myers  I can sympathize. I was 63 when I had my surgery, and I was scared from the time I found out I needed surgery to the minute I woke up from surgery.
Good news is, the whole experience was easier than I thought it would be. Pain was not a big problem, but fatigue was. I was exhausted the first couple weeks. Things got better day by day, as it will for you. The waiting was the hard part, because your mind can make you worry about all kinds of things. Have faith that you will do well. It amazed me that these big surgeries are done every day, in every state in the country. Put your faith in the medical team and take that leap of faith. You WILL get through it!

John Morales  I want to thank everyone for their comments and suggestions , As I said Im a Veteran and a patient at the VA hospital this procedure is not done there and is being farmed out to NYU in NY and a Dr Eugune Grossi and it looks like a good place with lots of experience the biggest issue as everyoine has said is the waiting Ihave to waiot to get an appointment to meet with the surgeon and that may not be till jan sometime then wait for my date that could be a few months my Dr said I wasn't going to die anytime soon but to understand my limitations due to the regurgitation andnot to exert my self to much so im going to try and be patient and come here for support and to lend whatever I can when I was in the Prostate Forum they helped me deal with the set back I had hopefully there wont be any here. thank you all for the love and support its much needed.

Im curious on average how long did some of you wait after you were diagnosed to the time you had your OHS procedure.

Justin is doing really well and we are at 8 Days post surgery! Only issue seems to be his Heart rate. He was sent home with BP meds Metoprolol 25mg (1/2 in am and 1/2 in pm) and once a day Lisinopril-5mg. His Bp has been too low twice and so I had to skip a few doses and call the Dr, nurse returned my call and said to stop lisinopril for now and Dr will call with further instructions in the morning ! I’m kind of freaked out, his pulse is erratic.. goes as low as 39 and up to 120’s while resting . Keeps going high and low but doesn’t stay there long! Hoping his heart is just trying to find it’s new normal. Someone mentioned there nurse calling it “chasing the pulse” but that was in the hospital right after surgery! I don’t know if will be able to sleep. Also I probably take his blood pressure too often, I’m getting on his nerves about now 😢 ANYONE EXPERIENCE SIMILAR.?

I must clarify I’m reading his hr from his iPhone wAtch and not sure it’s accurate, headed to store for Pulse/OX reader. Last reading on watch just went to 185 😳

Lisa Guinan  My HR was in the low 100s when I first got home from the hospital. I’m now in the low 90s. Im not currently on a beta blocker. I know it takes awhile for your heart to settle down after surgery, it doesn’t realize it doesn’t have to work as hard as it used to. I’m guessing his dr will wait and see what it’s like at your first follow up visit.

Dan Baltazor  Lisa said it. Also, I'm on the Metoprolol, beta blocker, and that helps your heart have some control post op. For 4 weeks post op I was on 25mg but twice a day. Looks like they are also having you do twice a day, but halving the pill. I had some heart beat issues but not as erratic as Justin's. Hopefully you get an accurate reading with the pulse/ox.
Jill Mullikin  I hope things have calmed down today. Thinking of you both!!
Catie B  Hope things are going better, Karrie!
Karrie Irby-Williams  Heart seems to be fine today. Low bp this morning so no AM med given just gave PM dose. Only issue now seem to be he is VERY VERY irritable 😢

Had my 1 year ct scan/check today ! Met with surgeon to go over results ! good news !

The blood is flowing and heart is ticking away to its new beat! I feel relieved! I feel blessed and so thankful ❤️
I did get a few reminders: No extreme lifting,
pre-med before any dental or other procedures, take care of you body and make sure you are in range with warfarin! I will be going yearly for scans for 5 years then possibly to every other year! Cardiologist is every year.
Take care of your ❤️❤️❤️ And it will take care of you !
