https://heart.bmj.com/content/110/4/299 SVD was observed in 33 (15.7%) patients at follow-up TTE. Median serum levels of Lp(a) were significantly higher in patients affected by SVD versus non-affected cases: 50.0 (IQR 72.0) vs 15.6 (IQR 48.6) mg/dL, p=0.002 (figure 2). In the Cox regression...

has anyone asked you to test for Lp(a) as this could explain the rapid failure of bioprosthesis ... however at this point I would strongly present the case for a mechanical valve (which are now pyrolytic carbon). These are recent findings and I'm pretty confident that most cardiologists are...

in that case what I was going to suggest won't be the case ;-)

warfarin or acitrom?

totally welcome. I'm sure hard days are coming, not just for you but for everyone; for this is the nature of life. “Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain.” ― Aristotle I'm turned over into chapter 60 of my life recently and I know that things don't get easier from here...

Hi that's good, I always encourage that ... did you come across this? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4889185/ The conclusions are mind-bogglingly facepalm ... but then it is an older study. However the important parts are the risks ... so I'm going to echo to you what my surgeon...

Hi I'm not sure what they've set for you nor do I know what guidelines are for mitral repairs, however that's got to be better than 1 if you have any history of thrombosis looks good to me steady as she goes I'd say

Good morning agreed agreed even then the "Ross" suggests that durability is similar, as well as not only my experience with my living tissue Homograft but the studies done by that center .... that's an excellent run ... I'm highly suspicious of this sort of 'marketing claim' and to me this...

I'm glad to hear you're still doing ok mate ... Best Wishes

Hi firstly I want to say that I agree with you, its encouraging, then I want to follow that up that the spirit of this reply is for any lurkers and those still "in the waiting room". It is not intended to be attempting to be a rebuttal of your points. this sort of duration and freedom from...

agreed take life as it comes, its all we can do Best Wishes

it was a joke ;-) However to give a serious answer: I believe that religion is an inseparable part of a society but it is not actually true. I think some important concepts are in this term https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egregore An egregore (also spelled egregor; from French égrégore, from...

look forward to seeing you then May your surgery be straightforward and your recovery uneventful.

Agreed, also he's not answering my emails

Actually I was just trying to "head off at the pass" any head scratching among English only speakers.
