    Mechanical Aortic Valve Gradients

    Exercise and INR

    My INR, which I measured between 2.1 and 2.6 for about three months, has risen to 2.90/ 3.0 and 3.1 in the last three weeks. The fact that it has been rising even though I have reduced my warfarin dose in the last week and have not taken any food that would increase my INR leaves only two usual...

    Greetings On 27 March 2024, I had AVR surgery and my aortic valve was replaced with a St. Judes valve. Since then, I have been examined by different cardiologists about 5 times. All of them said that my valve works very well and there is no problem, and I have no complaints. I already check my...

    Should I push to replace my mid ascending aorta?

    Greetings Two and a half months ago, my bicuspic aortic valve was replaced with a mechanical valve. My aortic root width is 40 mm and no surgical intervention was performed.

    Tooth Extraction

    I know exactly what you mean, Pellice. I think I may be a little too sensitive and compassionate because I am going to the first dental examination after mechanical aortic valve surgery. Before sitting in the dentist's chair, I should tell the dentist that I had aortic valve surgery just in...

    Tooth Extraction

    At the moment, there is a sensitivity in my right back upper molar tooth, there is no severe pain, only a slight tingling occurs when it comes into contact with hot or cold foods. Of course, this will be determined tomorrow, but according to my estimation, there may not be a situation such as...

    Tooth Extraction

    My tooth, which has not hurt for years, started to hurt two months after heart valve surgery. In fact, sensitivity occurs when eating or drinking something cold rather than pain. Tomorrow I will go to the dentist for a check-up, if the aching tooth needs to be filled or extracted, of course I...

    Motorcyclists Choice

    I am also among those who are in a dilemma in this regard. I must state that the motorbike provided me great convenience in my daily life before the surgery. The lack of parking space problems, moving without getting stuck in traffic, these are good things. I never like speeding, I never ride my...
