And don’t forget the search function of this site, there are goods posts I’m guessing in the hundreds at least. So start searching and sieving thru posts, theres all the data you will ever need right here.

TAVRs still pretty “new” so I guess the way the outside mesh cage expands and seals could have had paravalvular leakage but now does not. TEE or trans esophageal echo is from what I understand is the best look at things as they dont have the ribs in the way clouding the picture, so I’d be...

My last echo said trace aortic regurgitation, acceptable antegrade velocities.So thats a mechanical. As I understand it a TEE is a pretty good view of things and quite definitive, and its a good thing its not paravalvular for sure so I guess it comes down to how much leakage are we talking??

So will the biopolymer valves on the horizon be know as mechanical or tissue.. hmm

I dont know about airsoft but I have played paintball many many years ago in my 20s and got a few good smacks, I’d play it again tommorow if the opportunity came up warfarin or not, so have fun. Sorry Im not more help.

What a pompous p**k!! Is what I should be saying. But I’ll just think it instead.

Humour is also part of culture, so what a kiwi or an aussie might find funny other beliefs might not. I like to add and indeed see humour in the posts, I like to incorporate humour without offending when I can to give others a laugh and I’m sure everyone else is the same.... we are not robots...

Watching Discovery program about blood, interesting regarding the relationship between snake venom and blood so I did some googling, wow- https://www.webmd.com/heart-disease/news/20170608/its-snakes-to-the-rescue-for-heart-patients...

“We should be sensitive to the feelings of others since they come here often under extreme emotional distress.” Says the one who said Arnold Swarzeneger deserved OHS due to his life choices. Pot to kettle...over... A sack of rocks in that glasshouse.

Yep expect wrist, neck, and chest for tubes and wires for surgery. If you havent had and angiogram already its either femoral or radial artery (inside thigh or wrist). So pretty sure thumb webs and mid forearms left untouched.

You could say that about a lot of stats though couldn't you, if you die in a car crash with an inflamed appendix they aint gonna look for that either... but theres still stats on appendicitis.... just saying I'm pretty sure if you die in a car crash the car crash killed you

@Chuck C not that close an eye on it, on the ascending aorta 2 more years till the next look so that’ll be 4 yrs unchecked, we have a public health system so I might pay for a scan later in the year for piece of mind.

I remember reading stats somewhere 50% of bicuspid valves will give issues and of that 50% that give issues, 80% get replaced. So I guess that means 40% of all BAVs get replaced . However.. and theres varying opinions on this but its around 65% of all BAVs also result in aneurysm, so I guess if...

Which part on an echo report is the gradiant?

The meter was first advertised as a blood sugar meter.. they didnt have a clue I dont think, bargain lol

Be aware to being freshly post op generally your dose takes a couple of months to settle. Many of us experienced this. I started on 5mg and slowly worked my way up to 9mg over several weeks. My dose has varied between 8.5-10.5 mg a day over the years. I haven’t had an antibiotic yet (apart from...
