my estimations my estimations My estimations show a very good fractional shortening over 40% (EDD - ESD / EDD = 8.0 - 4.8 / 8.0). The healthy FS usualy pass beyound 35%.That means that maybe your myocardium works very well. Certeinly some mechano-dynamic properties of your ventricle is more...

Count down Count down I am 25. I am a male, but have read a lot and I know, that it is not that scary at all. I won't say it is easy, but I say it is not scary! After my surgery last year I have came back to the top of the activity! I play soccer and tennis. Last week I climbed the most high...

Thanks! Thanks! Thank you, Aaron! Actually, I'm an engineer - designer of technical products. And I think, that at the age of 25, it is a bit late for me to study medicines. :confused: I don't know, everything happens! :p Ivo

Hi Doctor! Hi Doctor! OK, you mentioned, that you have aortic regurgitation (AR). You poste in the bicuspid valve section, so I understand, that you are a bicuspid valver. You have a stable aortic root dilation, which haven't changed for about 10 years. Since you don't have a progression in...

welcome welcome I think you have found the right place for sharing your issues and finding good answers and support! Welcome to the site! Best wishes, Ivo

eNOS eNOS Just about an hour I have read few studies of the shear & tutbulent stress over the endothelial cells. Their conclusions show alteration and disturbances of the production/secreting of endothelial nictric oxide syntase (eNOS). It may even alter the gene's working :confused: or...

or... or... Or maybe I'm thinking too much and get suspicious of anything, what all of us may experience. I think it's called hypochondrism. :o

Sometimes, when I close my eyes, I can see microspots moving in a little streak just in the center of my vision. When I open my eyes I don't see them. Someone may call it "visual snow", but the symptoms of VS are different - one can see it in dark room, like TV static noise. And I see my...

Yeeessss Yeeessss That is, what I expected - to see patients, whose series of migraine +/- aura attacks stop or decrease, in general after their valve replacements. This supports more the theory. Here I poste a part of a study from 2007. Please read it: And then again, you may read the...

To AaronJ To AaronJ If you look at the study of Fedak and collegues "Vascular remodeling of patints with congenital bicuspid aortic valve", you will see, that there is evidence of systemic deficiency of connective tissue elements, like fibrillin-1. There are also evidenced deficiencies of...

Please Cday Please Cday Please, Cday, vote in the poll!

To Cday To Cday I have already posted a thread, where I mentioned, that we should NOT associate anything with the bAV issue. In this case - the nearsightedness have been never related with the BAV disease, as it is associated with the MVP in some cases, or most of the systemic connective...

a part of a review a part of a review Hi, here i poste a fragment of the Guntherot's review of the BAV pathogenesis, published in the spring of 2008 and directly related to our discussion: Ivo

To Leah To Leah Dear Leah, I'm sorry I can't search again the studies I have found, because it's 00:30 East European time and I have to go to work early in the morning. But tomorrow, if I have the time, I'll try to find a study, which associate statisticaly significant thecongenital heart...

To AaronJ To AaronJ I guess a few headaches are even less than the general for the healthy persons. One visual appearance would not be considered a Migraine with aura, since I don't know an alive man without visual stuff sometimes in their life. So, I don't know if you have to vote in the YES...

Here is a one review Here is a one review Here I poste a document, just published in the Am. J. Cardiol. about the BAV and the changing targets for searching of the culprit factors. As I said before, BAV is associated with arterial defects, but since no "BAV - Gene" can be found, despite the...

happy anniversary! happy anniversary! Let you live with this till 100 with the same valve... then you may want to try some other :)

you see? you see? It's working ;)

I am asking, because there is a mounting evidence of BAV with AVR, who suffer or have benn suffered an aura, particularly without headaches. There are some trials, that BAV itself creates a specific pulstating vibrations, which predisposes the aorta, pulmonary artery and even the peripheral...

welcome on board welcome on board I'm 25, and had the AVR an year ago. I have never been happier in the last 5-6 years, as I am now, since I did the step to the surgery in the earlier phase of valve/heart deterioration. Now I play tennis, soccer, bodybuilding, working everyday, I'm a young...
