Cardiac MRI is next on my to do list and Doc wants me to meet with two different surgeons to talk about TVR vs Cone procedure does anyone have any thoughts on these two procedures? I found out recently that I have ebsteins anomoly and my Tricuspid valve has severe regurgitation. I had the CPET last week so ticking down the list of things to be done. Thanks for the support!

I must have a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET)
this week it’s
a first for me just one of the many steps were taking to determine how long I can
wait before needing to have a second OHS.
Anyone have any advice they can share about this test I read a little about
it and it says it can be physically exhausting so that makes me nervous. Thanks!

Susan Lynn Jessica - The intent of the test is to monitor your heart and lung function under exertion, so they will start you slowly and increase the intensity while monitoring your vitals. When I had my cardiac stress test, the tech told me to try to walk toward the top of the treadmill as the incline increases. It's harder to walk further down on the machine. Don't worry about it - whatever your results, your cardiologist will know how to advise you. Best of luck!
