Dick sees the cardiologist once a year, but since he gets his meds from the VA, he also sees the VA doctor (who is also a cardiologist, formerly of Cleveland Clinic and originally diagnosed him) twice a year. Last month after an echo, he gave Dick the good news that the valve looks so good, he thinks it will last him his lifetime. (not sure he knows Dick's Dad lived to 102!) For a guy who hates doctors and never wanted to go before valve replacement, he is now going 3 times a year between the two of them!
