Interesting news from a cardiologist – Bionicoldguy

A few years ago, my annual echocardiogram showed a slight leakage around my external replacement of the aortic valve. This is a a A fairly common complicationS

Leaks cause regurgitation, which, when part of the diastolic pressure, when the valve is closed, expires until the left ventricle is filled. As the condition is mild and asymptomatic, we went into waiting mode and see the mode. Recently, my follow-up actions two years later showed that the condition was advanced to moderate. I still don’t need to do something because I’m still asymptomatic, so we’ll check again next year. If advanced, I may need to do a procedure. The minimally invasive approach is to climb from the groin through the femur with a plug, which sounds like an O-ring. This has about 70-90% success rate. The more invasive approach would be an outdoor heart surgery, removing the first replacement valve and placing a new one. This has the advantage that Valve technology has improved two ways since I received mine in 2017 first, instead of a solid plastic ring around the outside, the outer cylinders can now extend a little. This would be important if I ever had to get a new substitute in the future. Tavr! The second improvement is the material of the valve, the beef in my case, it is now processed to prevent the accumulation of calcium, which makes the valve insufficiency less likely. An extensive report from Google Deep Research has been presented on options hereS There seems to be additional images and other diagnostics that can be done to choose which procedure. We will encounter this in a year or so if the condition progresses.

After seeing my dock, I later realized that I may not be completely defective. A few times, while I was very difficult at long intervals, I was a little breathless. This rarely happens to me with cycling, usually burning in my legs, which makes me retreat without being out of breath. Breath is one of the symptoms of valve leakage. I will bring it with my cardiologist and see what he says. In the meantime, I will just avoid doing long difficult intervals and follow the advice of Clarence Bass to train long and easy, or hard, or as Clarence says « I go or sprint, I do nothing between them. » Also, I told my cardiologist that a wheel would be on average about 90 minutes a day, plus throwing some sprint workouts. He thinks this amount is good for now. But I have to admit that I’ve been exceeding this lately. So I think I’ll give up the amount my cardiologist thinks is good.
