Found out last week that I am showing early signs of sick sinus syndrome. They want to put in an internal monitor and track it. My heart beats too low. I was just sitting at home and took my pulse the other day and it was only 46. I guess I am headed towards a pace maker and defibrillator. Anyone else have experience with this?

I had my 3 year echo on Friday. My new valve is already up to a "moderate" leak. My cardiologist office called yesterday to say that my results are "stable". After only 3 years, I would think the results would be better than stable with a moderate leak. Prior to my echo, I had been noticing getting tired easily. Things I could do a year ago, make me tired now. I wasn't even thinking that it could be valve related, but makes since now. Anyone else have a Cryolife SG pulmonary valve? If so, what is your experience with it?
