hi everybody,
i had an AVR op in june '99. i had a ST JUDE valve fitted
and the op was largly uncomplicated. i went back to work in october, and apart from some tiredness i feel good. i am taking Warfarin (coumadin),between 5-9 mg per day. i am 43 years old
and would consider myself to be in good health besides.

Hello There Billy,

I am writing you to let you know about a list that myself and several other Heart Valve Replacement patients have created.

I am a 33 year old male who had aortic valve replacement surgery in April of 1999.  I often had questions about stuff like what do other people

Dear Billy,

This would be appropriate,  your physician may want you to  undergo a stress test.
