Mitral Valve Repair with Regurgitation
I was told today after my TEE test I will have to have my mitral valve repaired due to the increase in size of my left ventricle, conditions I've been experiencing lately(shortness of breath). I will now have to shop for a surgeon. I am scared to death on where to go, what to ask, etc.
I am 51, female, would like some direction and how do I go about the next step to educate myself on where to go and what to prepare myself for next.
