26 months a had Mitral Valve Repair- an Edwards Carpenters Ring is placed in my valve. I had Severe Mitral Valve Prolapse with severe Insufficiency, I am also an Asmatic patient. At the present time I am 34 years old. I visit my cardiologist every 3 months the same with the pneumologist. My last echo (12/9/98) reads:
1- Normal left ventricular systolic function.
2-Left atrial enlargement
3-Echogenic mitral valve with mild mitral valve stenosis and mild mitral valve insufficiency
4-Mitral tricuspid valve insufficiency.
My medications are: Digoxin .25, Sintroid .5, Lescol 20, serevent pump, and vanceril extra strength pump.
My questions are:
Is it normal to continue with more conditions after surgery?
Could this continue to get worst?
What could I accept for the future?
Thank you for your response.
