its like this really ...

Huomenta if I may say, your situation is perhaps "textbook exemplar" ... really sorry about that. lets not ask "how could it be worse" yep ... and that's totally normal ... Its interesting how we really want that "change" when its done "growing up" and acquiring new skills and abilities...

{underline mine} Replacement of the aortic valve in patients under 50 years of age: long-term follow-up of the St. Jude Medical prosthesis (link) Results: From October 1977 through October 1997, 271 patients less than 50 years of age had isolated aortic valve replacement. Follow-up was 1957...

What sort of life do you see in the literature on them? What sort of issues do you see on the valves themselved? I understood they are rated in the billions of activations, I think more than one billion. So even assuming Average HR 90 Beats / hour 5400 per day 129600 per year...

PS: Tervetuloa a question may come up for you which I answered here: https://www.valvereplacement.org/threads/valve-decision-for-44-year-old-who-loves-beer.887357/post-893881 Moi

Geeze mate, quite the rough entry. Welcome to the forum, I hope that you get some data to decide about valve choice here. Best Wishes

Hi I'm betting strongly that they underplayed that risk ... I think its interesting that in places like India they still fit mechanical valves in younger women who need a valve replaced and expect them to just manage heparin injections...

wishing you all the best mate

Hey there what sort of issues? Anything that a "injector cleaner" dose of tPA may fix? They've got a few miles on the clock.

Hi again (sorry, been a bit distracted this morning) old ways of thinking ... (which I addressed above without making it clear that this is what I was adressing) we are all ticking time bombs ... the only thing that happens is at some time you realise this truth. If you are not using a...

Good morning lots of excellent answers and advice above. On this point: I observe Dornole answered this but this means that the progress of valvular degradation does not follow a linear process; it does not go from 1 to 2 to 3 ... it goes from 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 to "real bad" and it does...

😮😧 That's the spirit Best wishes

no need to apologize for making no mistake ... when someone says I got this from that then its pretty clear that they think that them having this came from that .

looking forward to (expectedly) hearing from you. May your surgery be straight forward and your recovery landing be event free.

Appointment was today and the results are a resounding yes! The appointment required far less scraping than before as well as the observation by my dentist that something has definitely changed. Turns out he too has recently become a convert of Maltitol and is now selling a chewing gum with...

some pretty "persuasive" photographic examples in there to promote oral hygiene ... Eventually, it has to be emphasized that besides antibiotic prophylaxis prior to certain dental procedures the maintenance of good oral health in patients at risk seems to play an even more important role in...

make sure you work on the psychology so that you get better and not bitter. Best Wishes
