My Aorta valve is a ATS and I have found it to be reasonably quiet, sometimes hear it in bed but like all Mechanical valves it becomes noticeable when my A/Fib acts up. Kvntoday

Hi All, I have got a ATS Aorta valve and it is not too bad as far as noise goes, I can hear it at night while lying in bed. The biggest problem I am facing is depression , it has been on and off now for 6 years since my Valve replacement and my Failed Maze Procedure, I am now in Perm...

Hi Bob, I am surprised that you are still taking Aspirin while on Warfarin ?? Kvntoday

I think that there are a lot of myths with the use of Warfarin and I don't think it is the "Bogey Man" that a lot of people think it is . The thing to remember is that you must adjust to taking Warfain and just be a little more careful when doing Physical jobs etc, I always wear gloves when...

What Valve do I have What Valve do I have Mechanical Aorta

Good luck Danny, Sounds like you have got a really caring Cardio so just go with the flow. I am sure you are in good hands. Kevin

Somebody asked me if I had had any other follow up's , Yes, they did a few things after my Failed Maze like ,two cardioversions which only lasted for a short time and then I used to go in and out of A/fib with many blackouts lasting about 5 seconds. I would ring my Cardio over a period of about...

You are so lucky to finally get a Cardio or Surgeon that "Really" Listens and cares? As you say it is like winning Lotto ! Going in for first check up since my OP 3 years ago, my valve is fine but I am in permanent A/Fib and I am very very sceptical about Cardio's and Surgeons. The last time I...

Hi Ken, I too have an ATS which I fine quiet but I do hear it at night as I am permaent A/fib because of a failed Maze procedure. I researched the company here in New Zealand and they sent me testimonials of the ATS valve and its Attributes , they assured me that the ATS is fitted world...

Hi Joe, I had a AVR (Mechanical) 3 years ago and at the time they said that my Aorta may have needing "Lining" but as it turns out all I had was the VR and a failed Maze procedure and the rest of my heart was ok with no Artiery problems , I now live with perm A/Fib but I have adjusted and...

Hi Halley, Interesting about Aura's, I have had them off and on for 40 years and particularly after vigorous excersise and I think that low blood sugar could be part of the cause. I don't always end up with a Maigrane but sometimes I do but not a heavy one . Since my Valve replacement 3...

I used to get an Aura / Migraine's after intense training for many years and I put it down to low blood sugar but since I have had my Aorta valve replaced I definately get far more Aura's than before. I also get Aura's if my B/P is low ,so I know to have some protien smartly but the Aura's only...
