Blood thinners are a lot better than embalming fluid for me. Just kidding as it’s not a joke but I hear or feel my valve only through a stestacope. A doctor will ask if I want to listen to it and it’s clicking nice and sharp.

This is dave I tried to reply to this comment section and for some reason I did something wrong. DR V at Mayo did my valve in june 2023 taking warafin daily not a big deal or getting INR checked regularly not a big deal. I am working out at the gym anybody have a specific question I will answer it to best of my knowledge Dave

Hi Dave, did you receive open heart surgery? Do you or anyone on these treads know if there are alternative options for correcting a dilated aortic root. I’ve heard they can go into an artery in your groan or Arm. Also regarding exercise can you do weight lifting with lighter weight….like Arnold Schwarzenegger does ?
