Just had TAVR on Feb. 5. Left hospital following day. I'm age 85 and had been walking a mile and swimming prior to TAVR. Just today, starting walking around the house for 5 minutes twice a day. After 5 minutes a little winded. Would appreciate any advice from former TAVR patients, especially those in their 80"s. Thanks..

Rita Savelis Take it slow. Walk/exercise at whatever pace feels right for you. It's so very very very early for you. Of course since you were in such great shape before surgery you expect to be right back in great shape. But it takes some time. Your heart went through trauma and needs a bit of time to heal! All of this is more frustrating for athletes like you. Take care.
