Hi there! I had my aortic valve replaced in 2008. I also had my inominate vein reconstructed as well (they were going to repair my aortic, but scar tissue was attached to the valve/vein and it tore them apart). I've been having issues again lately with my heart. My left ventricle chamber grew...

So. I suffered from lifelong heart problems. Mitral valve problems as a baby and when I was four I was misdiagnosed with Kawasaki disease because back then the doctors kind of was shocked to see a caucasian baby have it. They hounded my parents with a wealth of questions when they decided to get...

Well. I have bad posture. I slouch when I walk or sit. Now that it has been over a year of my third heart surgery, I hope I'm done with them. ><'. (Likely not but anyway going on) When I was little and growing up and had chest pain, I'd grab a stuffed animal or a pillow and put it in front of...

clicky I know the reporting source is a bit shaky. But I want to know if anyone here can shed some light on this? I hope this isn't another hoax by DailyMail. But, wow, that research if true is stunning then. o.o.

Well! I used to love CSS, and I have gotten shaky with picking out my colors now. I added my gold scheme to my profile, as custom colors and the gold is kind of my trademark for my twitter, profile pages, etc. I decided to help me learn to recoordinate my eyes, I'll work on profile pages for...

Still a very experimental procedure, but it is working brilliantly on rats. http://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUSTRE56J51M20090720?rpc=64 Is this the future of heart repairs? I know many repairs can be made via catheterization now. But, will we get to the point where an injection...

Wow. I cannot believe it has nearly been an entire year since I had my third open heart surgery. Let me give a crash course of how it went. ^^. Well. I went in for a cardiac catheterization. I woke up in the middle of it in pain. I was given a mild sedative due to I was actually really freaked...

Hello folks! Seems like you all have quite some experience! I'm nineteen years old and going in for my third open heart surgery; but this time isn't removing tissue but replacing my aortic valve. I been doing quite some research on the valves and talking to the companies that makes them in the...
