Congenital Heart Condition - Shone's Syndrome
Now have St. Judes Composite Graft (Mechanical Aortic Valve connected to dacron tube replacing ascending aorta).
Also have dual chamber St Judes Pacemaker due to initial complete heart block caused by removal of earlier mechanical aortic valve which caused swelling to AV node. Regained intrinsic heart rhythm and no longer have complete heart block but have exercise induced 2 to 1 heart block which is taken care of by my pacemaker.
Taking care of my wife and 2 baby girls ages 6 years and 1 year; exercising (jogging/walking) and playing competitive table tennis and billiards.
