I have just been informed that an echocardiogram I had shows that I have calcification of the mitral valve and mitral valve regurgitation. I would appreciate hearing from those who have/had this same condition. Any information would be appreciated.
In Dec.2002, I had heart surgery.....a quadruple by-pass and an aortic valve replacement. Could this mitral valve been overlooked when I had the surgery or has it developed since?
Please give me some information. I am 66 and never had a heart problem that I knew of until my heart failure in Dec. I now have CHF. Plus I have diabetes.
Thanks.
