Worried about my Mechanic AVR's status

[nobog]

never thought of it, but yes, of course it is.
So can I then extrapolate from this that the sys pressures and diastolc pressures equivalently higher as reported on the BP in terms of the pressure gradients at the Mitral vs Aortic valve?

Mitral is 10 to 20 mmHg higher than the aortic.
