Hi All
Saw my cardio the other day a week after my echo.
I mentioned that I can't exercise like I did when I had the porcine valve for 11 yrs. I thought it was the mechanical that was making the difference. But ever the realist, my cardiologist said my stamina is less because my mitral is leaking moderate to severe and it's good that I exercise regularly so I will know when I feel like I am having difficulty with it. It always takes me a few days to get over the Dr. visit and forget about my leaky mitral, good thing I only see him once a year.
