Hi doctor and thank you for the precious informations , regarding these new valves will there be a possibility to use them to replace the mitral valve ? or is there any mitral specific clinical trial currently . Thanks

I am 65 and had a AAA Scan a week ago , all is ok . My friend is 63 and has had two aneurysms , he can no longer drive etc .

I had a bicuspid aortc valve and was persuaded to get it replaced at 61. My symptoms now are constant fatigue, dizziness, chest pain & when I push on, I have fainted once. Pre surgery I was asymptmatic. Worst thing I ever did was to get my good valve removed and had a valve downgrade.

Beautiful

I really like the ability to go through the groin area to put in the valve.

Im 35 and want this valve is that too young If it last 20-25 years its worth the risk for me Can this valve be put in for open heart surgery??? I need a new aortic valve would love to take a risk and see if it does last for 20-25

Could you please explain this : the minim invasive procedure, how far it can go ? It is only for an isolated aortic valve replacement or it can be used for aortic root issue, or fix ascending aneurysm....

Thank you.

Do you have low blood pressure due to leaky mitral valve?

Yess...How old is he ?

I am nearly 75,After hospital tests,I was told I had a leak in my heart valve,and was told they will send for me in 2 years for another test,Is this normal to wait that long?

Great teaching!

3:04 I had this valve fitted in Feb 2021. It was still in the clinical trials phase. Nice that I wasn't even asked to participate, just found out 4 weeks after surgery. I had been asymptomatic prior to surgery but post surgery, I was hit with multiple symptoms from dizzyness, constant fatigue, breathless and even fainted. So much for a advanced valve. If Edwards want their donkey valve back, they can take it any time. My experience is nothing but negative. I wish that I never gave my ill informed consent.

Swelling on my right ankle when I consumed atorvastatin even in small dose of 5mg. Now consumed fibre such as chia seeds and oat as alternative in controlling cholesterol.

Hello dear sir I'm Sheikh Waheed from Pakistan my son 27 year old hi bicuspid aortic valve moderate regurgitation how many years can safer he feel weakness no further symptoms no breathless

Hi doc my height is 161cm and weight is 70kgs im 28 years old and my cardiologist says my aorta is bigger than normal and has grown i found out more this week about my results from my CT scan wondering where on the chart you may think i may be at? Please

Hello doctor. I am a 29 year old male. I am 180cm tall and 89kg. This year i was diagnosed with a dilated ascending aorta at 4.2 cm. At first my doctor told me its normal amd that its because of bodybuilding and heavy weights. I did not like the response i got and i went to another doctor. He did an echogram and told me that i had an biscupid aortic valve which for the moment works fine and that caused my dilation. He also recommended a ct scan. I did one which showed my ascended aorta at 4.16 cm with no calcifications and no sign of disection. The doctor told me to excercise reguraly(running,sqimming,cycling,walking and moderate lifting). I have 2 queations 1- is it considered aneurysm at 4.2? 2- is having sex dangerous because it can spike your blood pressure for a certain amount of time?

7 1/2 years ago, a CT scan to find my calcium score (which was 0) showed a mildly dilated aortic root of 3.8cm and after adjusting for my height, weight and body mass, was told I am simply at the "outer limits of normal". This was confirm with a follow up CT scan one year later, this time with and without contrast and stable, not growing. I was told we can just follow with echo every 2,3 years. Just had a echo last week, and after 7 1/2 years, still stable at just 3.8cm and was told this probably is just normal for me and very unlikely I would ever need any surgery. Rest of echo, completely normal. Blood pressure is normal at 115/76. Lipid blood work is optimal. Do you agree?

Last year I had a cardiac score test performed. Not needed, the local hospital had a special for heart month, and I just wanted to see how I scored. It was perfect! They did notice that my ascending aorta was dilated at 4.4 cm. My doctor said it wasn't of concern. At this years physical I reminded my doctor so she decided to send me for another scan to see if there were any changes. I just got my results back today and the number has not changed. Still 4.4 cm. I haven't spoken to my doctor yet about the results, but when she gave me the scan referral earlier this year, she said I could have been born with this. Is this true? Can people be born with this condition? For reference I'm a 48 y/o female. No family history of heart conditions.

Hallo doctor ihave had AR associated with vsd and reduced EF with dystolic dysfunction my mPAP is 20 I did surgery 7month ago repair the valve and closing vsd after operation mild ar with redual vsd EF around 50 but my blood pressure is 140 o 60 now on medication bisoprolol 5mg and sprinolacton 12.5 and half foursmid and 160 mg valsartan twis bid but still my bp is 140 over 60 and ihave mild dyspnoea what do you think is operation results is bad and what can ido please tell me doctor im 26 years age thanks ❤❤❤❤❤

Hallo doctor what do you think about the new triflo heart valve that may eliminate blood thinners

Hello thank you for your knowledge and time, unsure if I need second opinion they did multiple tests and this is what was determined. Would like to note this was found in occasional testing for something else.. Mildly enlarged mid ascending aorta diameter of 36mm. Everything else was normal on echo when later checked. I am 31, 5'9". Healthy but slightly on the heavier side 180lbs. Was told it could be due to biking? And was told to continue my normal exercise? Anything else it could be? Was told to check it again in a year or two.

Amazing video, very informative. My dad will be having the procedure done in a week or so.. with your explanation I feel more comfortable. Thanks a lot

Dr Does Mitral valve prolapse lead to sinus tachycardia?

I’m 27 . I’m 1.88cm and 86 kg . I used to lift weight for 16 years . I have bav and aortic root 4cm but I have this exact measure for 8 years and is stable. I stopped wight training . Can I continue weight training but with moderate weight doing 10-12 reps ?

Dr .very useful vidieo on MR. Does dehydration cause Mitral valve prolapse.Is Mitral regurgiation trivial cause of concern

I have a bicuspid aortic valve and 48,5 mm aorta. Am 41 years old. İ think surgery is coming. :/

This is great news! While I have a mitral valve prolapse, it's not serious enough to need surgery. It's comforting though, that it should ever get to that stage that I could have this lesser invasive surgery. My Dad had the breast bone surgery on his mitral valve and it left a big scar of course.

This is interesting,,,I had elongated papillary muscles, went for mitral valve repair(splitting and shortening of papillary muscles with patial annuloplasty). I might need another surgery as as it's regurgutating mildly again. Is minimal invasive re-repair possible in my case??

about 15 years ago i have done a echo test and there I found that I have a mvp positive...! I feel that i m suffering of over tiredness or something like inactive (difficulty in working). Do i need to check again...? :( (my age is 31)

Found out last year I have Marfan syndrome and have a mild dilation of the aortic root at 3.9cm it’s an even dilation circumference wise. it’s been stable the past year and a half a bit nervous but hoping it doesn’t grow anymore. My father passed away at 44 years old from an aortic root dissection.

Can fluid retention be controlled through a diuretic?

Fluid retention is the biggest problem with a heart valve replacement. If you have a heart valve replacement, you will have some level of fluid retention which makes it hard to breathe. So, the cardiologist will recommend torsemide which works great. It is amazing at making breathing easy again. The problem is they don't prescribe a supplement to replace the electrolytes lost through urination. You will definitely need two supplements: potassium and magnesium. Interested to hear what The Keyhole Heart Clinic has to say... and what about CoQ10?

Very informative for personal deicision making

Been tested for Mitral valve leakage for the last five -six years. The doctor is just monitoring every two years on echocardiogram the leakage is moderate to severe but he said the heart is not enlarged to the scale that needs operation. But I'm constantly worried about it as I hear even the leakage goes whoosh whoosh whoosh. For palpitation he gives me better blocker. I'm just wondering if I should see another cardio for another opinion.❤

Had clips in septemberl repair mytral valve but still have a slight leak. I was told it was torrential. Am being treated for af too. What is my outlook feel my age is against me im 75?

👍👍👍

Fascinating

Wasn't an option 40 years ago when I needed a new mitral valve, and still as good as when it was implanted.

This is great news!

Hi, Can someone Please help me. I recently had a test and it came back and said "VESSELS: Atherosclerotic changes throughout abdominal aorta, no aneurysmal dilation. Can someone please tell me is this bad or good. I can not seem to find the answer online. Thank You!

I am having thoracic aneurism of 86 mnn or 8.6cm ! After test and consultation with doctors and specialist in Paris I was told I could be operated but it could be risky and could become paralyse ! So I decided to do nothing and accept my fate ! S o far I am doing more or less ok but there are side effects du to my aneurism ! What the hell should I do !!! Any advise ?

Had this op 3 weeks ago at 5cm

Can anyone take Ozempic for weight loss

I need you as my mentor... I have a bicuspid valve and an aneurysm. I'm measuring at 47mm and they say when I hit 50mm I will need surgery. I'm so concerned in doing anything aggressive at the moment just incase I make it worse. Can they do a keyhole surgery on me when the time comes?

just got my results today and the dilation is 4.5 cm. the pain in my top middle back I describe as a deep very painful toothache, it never goes away. I am 57. My Dad and my Mom's sister (my Aunt) have both had open heart surgery, but I don't know the original reasons. I am a little frightened. I am stoic tho.

Oprah says it should be taken for LIFE. Everyone has GLP-1 agonists in their body. But the GLP-1 agonists in the bodies of obese ppl don’t work right. So STOPPING the med is dumb. No amount of counseling about diet and exercise will make a difference, and NEVER HAS for those with GLP-1 agonists that don’t work right. Don’t you thing obese ppl have already tried every method known to man?! They don’t WORK for them bc their GLP-1 agonists aren’t working right. Ins cos / NHS shouldn’t mind paying for these meds for life. It’s cheaper than paying for all the medical issues obese ppl develop. It’s cheaper than Bariatric Surgery. Many ppl can get their meds from a compounding pharmacy through a NATUROPATH if their drs won’t rx it or if ins won’t cover it. They then pay out of pocket.

I survived a 6cm aortic root aneurysm in 2009 i had a aortic root graft replacement/valve sparing I can run 10miles now #DrDukeCameron #JohnsHopkinsBaltimoreMD The same exact aneurysm killed my father in 1985 #LoeysDietzSyndrome
