Hi all
Went to see my cardiologist today after AVR two years ago had porcine tissue valve
Said everything was fine, but said he could hear a murmur / turbulence
This surprised me as I thought post surgery. There would be no murmur
Question has anyone else been told this?
And would it be caused by the structure of the valve itself and residual scar tissue ?
He then tried to reassure me by saying that it sounded exactly the same as 12months ago and that all was good
Would appreciate your help and comments if this is normal
Thanks
