The results of my most recent
echocardiography after aortic valve
replacement indicated the following;
Abnormal diastolic left ventricular
function, Aortic insufficiency of the
bioprosthetic valve, Mild tricuspid
regurgitation, Left ventricular
hypertrophy, Moderate hypokinese of the
anterior septal wall, and an ejection
fraction of 65% which I'm being told would
indicate a much less sever condition. What
does all this mean as far as heart disease
and with a tissue aortic valve replacement
in 2005 will the ejection fraction
decrease with the age of the valve? Also I
have been placed on Toprol XL 50mg., does
this medication have any affect on the
ejection fraction?
