Good afternoon for everyone. I hope you all had a great weekend. I am 40 years old, weigh 105 kg, and underwent minimally invasive surgery in October 2023 to replace my aortic valve with a mechanical one. Since then, I have been doing well and going to the gym without... Read more.

As my long departed grandmother used to say, take the elevator. Those are technical questions for your cardiologist, who knows your heart.

Mohammed, you should tell these symptoms to your cardiologist. He may be able to change medications to make you feel better. It can be scary when you have any heart symptom. Since surgery, I sometimes think wale are more aware of changes which is a good thing.

Hi everyone, Hope you're all doing well. I had my aortic valve replaced with a mechanical valve back in October 2023. Prior to the surgery, l had severe aortic regurgitation (leakage),but now everything is good. Today, I had another echo. Overall, things still look good, but I noticed that my... Read more.

Hey M.A., in answering your issue, first of all I think that your cardiologist oppinion is the best and prima on this. To tell you my point of view all will depend on the grade of the hypoactivity of the ventricle, so it is not the same if the hypofunction... Read more.

So , do you think this is a serious problem?. What does mean by " "anteroseptal wall hypokinesia." is it a serious case or can be treated permanently?

Fidel Martínez Ruiz

A part of the heart wall loses its ability to contract properly. I think you have to ask your cardiologist in order to obtain an authorized opinion and have the suitable treatment. As everyone know here it's better to treat soon the heart issues, before ventricular enlargement occurs.👍

It means is that one of the walls of the heart appears to be stiffer than normal and not contracting the way they expect it to as it beats. From what I've read, it looks like there are a few different things that can cause it and I'm not sure... Read more.

Fidel Martínez Ruiz

It looks like many parameters are into the range of normality, so not to be too much worry, but the fact of the anteroseptal Wall hypokinesia worths to pay attention on It.

Mohammed Abdulrahman

Thanks alot for all commenters

Mohammed Abdulrahman

To confirm, i am going to gym and i do not have related issues. Do you think this is silent issue?,

Fidel Martínez Ruiz

I can not tell you anything specific about, but under my patient point of view, any heart issue even being mild in its appearances is worth to look at by a specialist. Perhaps it can be solved simply with a drug conservative treatment given by the cardiologist.

John Cook

I agree. Ask the doctor who ordered the ECHO.

Mohammed Abdulrahman

Thanks to all

Hello everyone,Does anyone with a mechanical heart valve eat pomegranate, orange, or lemon? Are there any precautions to take with these fruits while on warfarin?

Susan Lynn

Mohammed - I was only on blood thinners for three months after surgery, but blackberries had a big effect on my INR. I suggest you check with your cardiologist before you make any major changes to your diet. My understanding is that you could eat anything, but you need to... Read more.

Robert Miller

To my knowledge, INR is mostly affected by eating greens. I haven't heard of citrus fruits affecting INR but that's not to say they don't. I suggest that you frequently monitor INR levels for a few months so you can figure out what affect you.
