Thanks! Thanks! That is great! :D

Thank you, Nancy! Somehow I totally missed that forum in all my visits here.

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks...I'll pass those links along. Does anyone else have any favorite cardiac links? Thanks again!

A friend asked me this question and I thought I?d put it out there to the group ? I imagine collectively we have quite the library of cardiac resources. When faced with a new procedure or device, where do you all go to gather information (other than VR.com, of course :D )? Are there any...

On the local news tonight they had a story about a local family whose newborn son was born missing a chamber of the heart. They are waiting for a transplant. Anyhow - they dressed him as the Tinman for Halloween. Very sad story, but what a cutie...

I don't have advice about whether it is time for surgery or not - wish I did! I am going through a somewhat similar process - I'm symptomatic and in school. Right now they are still trying to figure out what is causing the symptoms (meds, other problems, or the valves). However, being in...

I thought of another question I forgot... and I think I know the answer, but just to be sure I understand: Does your blood pressure level alter your regurgitation level? Thanks so much!!!!!

There have been a few questions on my mind since my last cardio appt. and I thought y?all might know. I have read in a few threads that some people have symptoms before severe regurgitation? Is this a result of their regurgitation or the result of a secondary, complicating factor? Does anyone...

Great link! Thanks! :)

First off - I think this is an incredible resource, thank you!! :) A little background: I'm in my early 20s. In March I went to my GP because of shortness of breath, fatique, and chest tightness. The symptoms come on with physical exertion - mainly stairs. My GP did a holter monitor which...

I wear a medical alert bracelet for another medical condition. I used to wear one from Lauren?s Hope (which make bracelets that are a bit more trendy and disguised), but switched to Medic Alert at the request of a doctor (as it offers more medical services). With Medic Alert, my emergency...

Thanks for the help! I am looking into getting the details of my echos this week and possibly a second opinion.

Hello Everyone, This site has been a great resource the past couple weeks! I went to my GP a while back concerned about continued bouts of fatigue, SOB, and some swelling. I was put on a 30day event monitor which proceeded to auto-event several times a day. He sent me to a cardiologist after...
