Just got my inspiris resilia on Jan 11, 2022 so far so good. For some reason I have to take coumadan for a couple of months to help the valve seat it. So far so good I was having a lot of shortness of breath. I’m 60 years old. My Dr Dr Baay wanted to do a freestyle in my chest but he...

Well I'm still in the waiting room. I'm currently experiencing no symptoms maybe not able to exercise as much. But as far as I can' tell from most studies as long as your not experiencing any symptoms your survival rate is pretty good. Its when you start experiencing symptoms that the death...

Good luck Heather I admire your dedication to get better

Just wanted to thank you Jimmy for asking the question, and thanks to everybody else for your replies. I'm 56 and will probably need a valve in the future. At first I was totally against Warfarin, but after reading peoples experiences of using it, am not afraid of it now. Also don't want to...

Hi Bonbet thanks for sharing your experience. My cardiologist also said that once your max velocity gets over 4.0m/s then they get concerned. Interesting you really weren't experiencing any symptoms? Just curious is your BMI under 25? Jason

Were you experiencing any symptoms or did you just go for the surgery at that reading?

My Cardiologist said he can't really predict the progression of Valve disease. He said he's seen people get moderate/severe and just stay there. By the way I'm in the same board you are, some of readings are moderate others severe. I think my last reading was 38mm/HG. Weird finding out you...

Hi Steve, Yea my Cardiologist says the same thing, the longer you wait the better that technology gets. I can't get a straight answer as to what the most critical measurement is Pressure, Velocity, or Valve area? Seems like the main thing is symptoms, although my cardiologist did mention...

Why not try some Holistic Therapies like massage and see where that goes

Arnold Schwarzenegger had the Ross procedure it blew out the same day and he had to have to replaced the next day. Talk about a scary situation because your chance of death is now 10% instead of 2%. I'm 55 and when/if I have to have my valve replaced it wouldn't be a Ross for sure

Thanks epstns for your feedback. If you didn't have any symptoms why did you decide to undergo surgery? Where you afraid you might undergo a 'sudden' event that you wouldn't like. What was the main thing that prompted you to go for it, 'early'? Ok I read that you were tired a lot, did the...

Thanks for the feedback epstns, yes the valve area concerns me too! My cardiologist says be aware of any symptoms and report back. From what I can understand once you start having symptoms the end is near,and you should get it replaced. jason

Ok will be on the look out for that too, never heard that pressure gradient was a big indicator. Where you symptom free when you had the valve replacement?

Thanks guys for the feedback on the activity level after valve replacement. Seems like if you follow the medication regime the sky is the limit.

Hi I'm a 55 year old male that was diagnosed with a heart murmur a couple of years ago. Got it checked it seems that I have Aortic Valve Stenosis. According to my cardiologist he doesn't think I have a bicuspid valve but some kind of defect from birth. He also mentioned that the longer I...

Thanks for sharing everyone, I enjoy jogging right now, thought getting a new valve job would increase your times. I guess in a way it does because if your dead your not running at all.
