@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member, Thank you Mom for sharing the video. It is amazing with all of the research that Doctors do to help us understand about heart conditions.

Hi Michael……I’m talking blindly which means I don’t know what I’m talking about……..but listen closely to what your doctors have to say……will your condition get worst……will it affect your heart down the road……I’m sure your doctors will give you good advice. Good Luck!!!!!! 👍🏻

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member You are so welcome for the video. Open heart surgery is a big deal but I understand the TAVR is only for those who are older or of higher risk. If the valve is not leaking too much then it is probably okay to wait. I have a tricuspid valve that has never been repaired and I am 71. I do have symptoms because of this choice. Each of us are different and if you opted to wait I understand. Maybe join the Vavle group and ask them what they think. Find it under groups on the main menu. Hugs🤗
