Hey, loved the vibe🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested.

Hi I have question can Dilation of Aorta be seen on an Xray ? Also are there any Symptoms with Dilation ?

After the valve has been replaced, how do you return the heart chamber to its proper sized to avoid heart rhythm issues? I was forced to live with my leaking valve from birth until it almost killed me just before I turned 36 37, I have never been able to hold a job because of it, and I am still out of work and waiting on yet another heart procedure to try, no promises, to get my heart beating right again, due to an enlarged heart chamber. My ex-cardiologist knew of the leaking bicuspid aortic valve from the day he took me on as an adult patient, despite this, he left it in me until as I said, it almost killed me via heart failure, my life is a living hell as a result, no job, no money, stuck on benefits, possibly for the rest of my days.

Whenever a medical professional tells me something is or might be uncomfortable, I know what the real deal is.

What about CAT Scan of arteries?

What is my BSA 5’8 190 lbs asending aorta at 4.4 would i need surgery

I just had a CTA scan showing 44 mm AA dilation, PFO, normal coronary arteries.Earlier diagnosed with bradycardia, mild fibrotic thickening of all tree leaflets of a tri commissar AV with lack of central diastolic coaptation. App.AV regurgitate orifice area= 10 sq mm. No stenosis, plaque. How bad does it sound to you, Doctor? Thank you!

Quick question what is the research we have gotten on this valve today? Im 34

Mechanical valves don't necessarily last FOREVER. Yes, they last much longer, however there is the lifetime blood thinner requirement & about a 25 to 30 year lifespan of the valve itself. Other disadvantages to the Mechanical valve for the AORTIC position: if any of the flappers stick due to calcification at an older age, you are now looking at a 30% mortality rate for the emergency operation that you now need asap & it must be REPLACED with a REOPERATION that you may not be healthy enough to endure at an older age.... a Mechanical valve is not a candidate for a valve-in-valve TAVR replacement in the future the way that a tissue valve can accept a future TAVR.... One outstanding valve available for anyone is a Edwards Magna Ease bovine tissue valve...

Hey i have bicuspid valve seeing a surgeon in two weekds i have sever regirtitation moderate stenosis with a 4.5 centimeter acending aorta and normal decending aorta thiught on when u think i need surgery and will i be ok up until then I have no symptoms yet amd i workout all the time Thoughts im stressed iut about it My aorta wont rupture at this point right i have a couple months being ok hopefully?? Thanks

I'm 36 years old considering this valve. I personally am really intrigued by the new technology. It does annoy me that we cannot tell with certainty whether younger patients can be stable with this in the long term. However, if combined with regular fasting to clean up the arteries and blood, I don't see why this valve can't last me a long time. There's no cardiologist on the planet who is going to advocate for this regiment, and therefore there are no studies out there that would prove this to be helpful (even though we know fasting is helpful for people in good health). I can't see fasting being good while being on blood thinners, which means my entire body would suffer by not being able to fast. The very reliability of a mechanical valve also means I would have to cut this good lifestyle habit, and this habit could be the thing that helps these new tissue valves last longer. Having a bicupsid valve is super annoying and I'm convinced that no one has the correct answer. Leaning towards what I trust will be good for me and taking the risk of no long term data. I talked to people at Edwards and they claim there's a patient who got a bio valve in the 1970's and it is STILL doing well. What makes this person an outlier? I wish we knew, but lifestyle choices must be a factor!

I want this guy to read me bedtime stories. Great voice

Duh. Fruit is XXX. Sugar is responsible for diabetes and my heart disease. Almost zero carbs, oily fish, red meat, fatty chicken and skin. Sugar will kill you, good fats won't.

The statin my Dr. wanted me to take causes memory loss in some patients. I was thinking I don't need memory loss when I'm driving out in the middle of nowhere.

Bicuped valve age 32 mild mr arota size 36mm l need surjery

My age 28 year old pls suggest me best valve

Hi doctor and thank you for the precious informations , regarding these new valves will there be a possibility to use them to replace the mitral valve ? or is there any mitral specific clinical trial currently . Thanks

I am 65 and had a AAA Scan a week ago , all is ok . My friend is 63 and has had two aneurysms , he can no longer drive etc .

I had a bicuspid aortc valve and was persuaded to get it replaced at 61. My symptoms now are constant fatigue, dizziness, chest pain & when I push on, I have fainted once. Pre surgery I was asymptmatic. Worst thing I ever did was to get my good valve removed and had a valve downgrade.

Beautiful

I really like the ability to go through the groin area to put in the valve.

Im 35 and want this valve is that too young If it last 20-25 years its worth the risk for me Can this valve be put in for open heart surgery??? I need a new aortic valve would love to take a risk and see if it does last for 20-25

Could you please explain this : the minim invasive procedure, how far it can go ? It is only for an isolated aortic valve replacement or it can be used for aortic root issue, or fix ascending aneurysm....

Thank you.

Do you have low blood pressure due to leaky mitral valve?

Yess...How old is he ?

I am nearly 75,After hospital tests,I was told I had a leak in my heart valve,and was told they will send for me in 2 years for another test,Is this normal to wait that long?

Great teaching!

3:04 I had this valve fitted in Feb 2021. It was still in the clinical trials phase. Nice that I wasn't even asked to participate, just found out 4 weeks after surgery. I had been asymptomatic prior to surgery but post surgery, I was hit with multiple symptoms from dizzyness, constant fatigue, breathless and even fainted. So much for a advanced valve. If Edwards want their donkey valve back, they can take it any time. My experience is nothing but negative. I wish that I never gave my ill informed consent.

Swelling on my right ankle when I consumed atorvastatin even in small dose of 5mg. Now consumed fibre such as chia seeds and oat as alternative in controlling cholesterol.

Hello dear sir I'm Sheikh Waheed from Pakistan my son 27 year old hi bicuspid aortic valve moderate regurgitation how many years can safer he feel weakness no further symptoms no breathless

41. 160LB. Nerve damage. Got a 4.4 moderate...... is that bad ??? I have to wait 30 days for ct scan.

wish I would have done this cleveland said they couldnt do it so they cut my chest in half and their supose to be number 1 what a joke

Hi doc my height is 161cm and weight is 70kgs im 28 years old and my cardiologist says my aorta is bigger than normal and has grown i found out more this week about my results from my CT scan wondering where on the chart you may think i may be at? Please

Hello doctor. I am a 29 year old male. I am 180cm tall and 89kg. This year i was diagnosed with a dilated ascending aorta at 4.2 cm. At first my doctor told me its normal amd that its because of bodybuilding and heavy weights. I did not like the response i got and i went to another doctor. He did an echogram and told me that i had an biscupid aortic valve which for the moment works fine and that caused my dilation. He also recommended a ct scan. I did one which showed my ascended aorta at 4.16 cm with no calcifications and no sign of disection. The doctor told me to excercise reguraly(running,sqimming,cycling,walking and moderate lifting). I have 2 queations 1- is it considered aneurysm at 4.2? 2- is having sex dangerous because it can spike your blood pressure for a certain amount of time?

7 1/2 years ago, a CT scan to find my calcium score (which was 0) showed a mildly dilated aortic root of 3.8cm and after adjusting for my height, weight and body mass, was told I am simply at the "outer limits of normal". This was confirm with a follow up CT scan one year later, this time with and without contrast and stable, not growing. I was told we can just follow with echo every 2,3 years. Just had a echo last week, and after 7 1/2 years, still stable at just 3.8cm and was told this probably is just normal for me and very unlikely I would ever need any surgery. Rest of echo, completely normal. Blood pressure is normal at 115/76. Lipid blood work is optimal. Do you agree?

Last year I had a cardiac score test performed. Not needed, the local hospital had a special for heart month, and I just wanted to see how I scored. It was perfect! They did notice that my ascending aorta was dilated at 4.4 cm. My doctor said it wasn't of concern. At this years physical I reminded my doctor so she decided to send me for another scan to see if there were any changes. I just got my results back today and the number has not changed. Still 4.4 cm. I haven't spoken to my doctor yet about the results, but when she gave me the scan referral earlier this year, she said I could have been born with this. Is this true? Can people be born with this condition? For reference I'm a 48 y/o female. No family history of heart conditions.

Hallo doctor ihave had AR associated with vsd and reduced EF with dystolic dysfunction my mPAP is 20 I did surgery 7month ago repair the valve and closing vsd after operation mild ar with redual vsd EF around 50 but my blood pressure is 140 o 60 now on medication bisoprolol 5mg and sprinolacton 12.5 and half foursmid and 160 mg valsartan twis bid but still my bp is 140 over 60 and ihave mild dyspnoea what do you think is operation results is bad and what can ido please tell me doctor im 26 years age thanks ❤❤❤❤❤

Hallo doctor what do you think about the new triflo heart valve that may eliminate blood thinners

Hello thank you for your knowledge and time, unsure if I need second opinion they did multiple tests and this is what was determined. Would like to note this was found in occasional testing for something else.. Mildly enlarged mid ascending aorta diameter of 36mm. Everything else was normal on echo when later checked. I am 31, 5'9". Healthy but slightly on the heavier side 180lbs. Was told it could be due to biking? And was told to continue my normal exercise? Anything else it could be? Was told to check it again in a year or two.

Amazing video, very informative. My dad will be having the procedure done in a week or so.. with your explanation I feel more comfortable. Thanks a lot

Dr Does Mitral valve prolapse lead to sinus tachycardia?

I’m 27 . I’m 1.88cm and 86 kg . I used to lift weight for 16 years . I have bav and aortic root 4cm but I have this exact measure for 8 years and is stable. I stopped wight training . Can I continue weight training but with moderate weight doing 10-12 reps ?

Dr .very useful vidieo on MR. Does dehydration cause Mitral valve prolapse.Is Mitral regurgiation trivial cause of concern

I have a bicuspid aortic valve and 48,5 mm aorta. Am 41 years old. İ think surgery is coming. :/

This is great news! While I have a mitral valve prolapse, it's not serious enough to need surgery. It's comforting though, that it should ever get to that stage that I could have this lesser invasive surgery. My Dad had the breast bone surgery on his mitral valve and it left a big scar of course.

This is interesting,,,I had elongated papillary muscles, went for mitral valve repair(splitting and shortening of papillary muscles with patial annuloplasty). I might need another surgery as as it's regurgutating mildly again. Is minimal invasive re-repair possible in my case??

about 15 years ago i have done a echo test and there I found that I have a mvp positive...! I feel that i m suffering of over tiredness or something like inactive (difficulty in working). Do i need to check again...? :( (my age is 31)

Such an informative episode!

I like the idea of taking action when a person's aortic valve gets to be 5.0 cms instead of 5.5 cms like before, especially in an aorta that has experience progressive diameter increase. Why wait until the aortic valve gets to be 5.5 cms? The patient can have a better experience at 5.0 cms and if the diameter is increasing it's rather certain that it will get to 5.5 cms eventually.
