My girlfriend is a sonographer and told me that an MRI on a heart is actually called an MRA. She further looked it up and found that they are only useful in limited circumstances and that in most cases an echo is much better results.

Hello - my 90 year old mother is now suffering from a sticky aortic valve. She is thinking about having the TAVR procedure if a candidate. Has anyone had that procedure or know someone who has? Thanks for any information.
My aunt had it done about 5 years ago. The first in her county. She said it was a piece of cake compared to OHS when she had SAVR. She waa home in 2 days, I believe. That waa 5 years ago and she is doing well.
My friend had it at age 97 . she was in the hospital for 2 days, and lived to celebrate her 100th birthday. It relieved her shortness of breath and fatigue very quickly.
