Replacement statistics

[sue943]

Does anyone know the number of people, say in 10,000 who have valve replacements and also how many have double valve replacements?

The population of where I live is approximately 95,000 and my postman told me today there are two of us double valvers living here - he asked his wife if she knew me, which she did as I am one of only two. So does that sound right to you, that there could be just two of us in 95,000?

I've never read any, but I'd venture to say your not the only two. I may be way off, but out of 100%, I'm thinking double valvers probably come out to around 6 or 7% may be even a little higher.
