Failed mitral valve repair, inoperable? Can anyone help?

Hello from BC.
Six weeks ago, I had my bicuspid aortic valve replaced with a bio-valve. I am now well versed in the hearts function before, during and after OHS.
My advise to you is to stop pushing your heart to reach 100-160 BPM! Your heart is already compromised severely. You are causing your defective heart to overwork. Geez Louise...Take a break. I'm 75 so if my Bio-valve lasts 10-15yrs. I'd be happy with that. Best of luck to you.

10-15 years of good quality life would be great. I’m grateful for having 15 years after the mitral valve repair that I thought would be good forever at the time. In persistent a fib it’s at 100 without much effort a TV all line just climbing stairs at home. But it can also be down to 50 when sleeping. Still figuring it all out and I’m sure I will over time. I really just want to know when is the best time for surgery to preserve what’s still working and prevent further deterioration. I guess slowing down would help. Gardening more than tennis. Etc. Using all the assist on the Ebike instead of my usual sprinting and leading the pack. Hard adjustments for me but I’ll get there. Thanks
