Hello all,
Well, I went to my yearly GYN appt. last week in hopes to get his opinion on my Cardio telling me in 1-7 years I'll need a AVR. I value his insight and he knows me better than any other doctor!
Anyway, he said he would set me up with a Cardio in Jacksonville that he trusted well enough to send his family members to! And, then while doing the breast exam, dropped a bomb that I have a lump! So, off for a biopsy this Thursday
Anyway, after pre-op tomorrow I will meet the new Cardio, anyone have any advice as to what I should drill him about? My valve is at 1.3 with moderate stenosis!
I was just reading the Intelihealth site that Nancy posted in another thread (great site by the way, Nancy)! And this popped out at me:
In 2 percent to 4 percent of heart valve problems, the heart defect is related to health or environmental factors that affected the mother during pregnancy. These factors include diabetes, phenylketonuria, rubella infection, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE or lupus) or drugs taken by the mother (alcohol, lithium, certain seizure medications)
Does anyone have any information if Mothers that took DES could have cause a congenital bicuspid aortic valve??
