leaking mech aorti valve
Posted: 02-07-08 10:00am

hi,
I,m trying to figure out how serious my problem is. I have been told ,after echocard, tha t I have aortic sclerosis with moderate restriction in the mobility of my aortic valve leaflets,mild stenosis,e.f. about 30,2+ regurge and mitral annular calcification.
Am I right in speculating that ,only 3 years after the valve was put in,
that this should not be happening or be so far advanced? This doesn,t seem right.
I have had 2 ohs, 8 angioplasts and stents,3M.I.s, installed icd bi vent one year ago which has now extruded and been repositioned. I am diagnosed with chf, compensated and ischem cardiomyap.
I will see my cardio next week. Need someone else's opinion.
thanks,
jrod

heart valve replacement
Posted: 02-11-08 12:35pm

I would like to know if you valve is leaking after such a short period of time. I had a prosthetic aortic valve replaced along with a double bypass and that is scary to think it would give me problems in such a short period of time. I would check with a good cardiologist and question them as to why it is leaking.
