Question: now 18 months post surgery, I continue to ride the game of post surgery life. I am curious how many other patients have experienced "cardiac remodelling" after their surgery. Specifically, mitral valve patients, and specifically in the form of Right Ventricle dilations (RV).
No specific cause for alarm, but it does seem like the left ventricle gets all of the attention in some cases pre surgery, and once things flow better there, the RV gets a new workout... Do let me know if any of you have seen minor changes in echos post surgery regarding RV.
