I have had AVR with tissue valve, quick question, would taking this supplement benefit or adversely effect the valve

​Has anybody else taken cod liver oil or been advised to.
 
I'm prescribed Omacor, which is omega-3 fish oil, not quite the same as Cod Liver Oil, I know, but not tons different. I'm prescribed Omacor as an antiinflammatory. When I was admitted for AVR surgery (tissue) I handed my Omacor to the nursing staff. They duly gave me my regular dose every day post surgery, and I have continued with that regular dose, now just over two and a half years post surgery.

Hi Just checking in to see how you are doing with the AVR 10 years post surgery, i too have a mismatch apparently

Hi Mike - I'm doing okay thanks ! It will be ten years at the beginning of January and the valve is still going strong. I'll have my annual echo in February or March. The pressure gradients are high but it doesn't seem to affect the valve or my heart, they just indicate moderate patient prosthesis mismatch.

How are you doing ?

It would not expect cod liver oil to have any effect on your bioprosthetic valve, at least I am not aware of any evidence of this. Cod liver oil is high in Omega 3, which might help inflammation. So, there is at least a theoretical that it might do some good, but probably not really any difference, pro or con, for your bioprosthetic valve.
Although it might not do your biovalve any good, omega 3 is considered very heart healthy, so you could benefit in other ways.

Valve is slightly stenosed - but the leaflets and valve is still working well.

In the meantime have a great Christmas!
