I've been away from the board for quite a while and actually wasn't a very good member when I was here and I'm not sure what I really want to ask you but I just need to talk with someone who may have "been there, done that" if you don't mind. I'm having a cardiac MRI on Wednesday and am very...

After reading Mary's recent poll about when everyone had their valve replaced, I got a little jealous ;) that I couldn't vote since I'm still hanging out in the "Waiting Room" and then I began to wonder how many other VR members were in the "Waiting Room" and how long you've been waiting...

I?m in the waiting room with mitral regurgitation and just had my yearly echo. Is it possible for MR to get better without surgery? I?ve seen comments here that it doesn?t happen but that?s what my cardiologist is saying on my latest echo report says. My appointment with him is Wednesday so...

I was diagnosed with MVR in Summer 2004 and I posted my history in February 05 and received many nice replies.:) Since then I've been lurking off and on. I just had my 6 month echo and have a follow-up with the cardio on Nov 16 and I was hoping that you would offer me some assistance. I have...
