January 2000 I had a mitral valve repair and then one week later had a mitral valve replacement at St. Lukes hospital by Dr. Ott at age 20
Medications
coumadin (10mg except 2 days of the week 7.5 mg)
lanoxin (1.25 mg)
10 years of toprol (50 mg), stopped and did great for 2 years until a bad tachycardia episode.. so back on Toprol I go!
