Heart Valve Replacement Surgery Does Anyone Know Much About Enlarged Heart And Heart Valve Surgery?

Does anyone know much about enlarged heart and heart valve surgery? - heart valve replacement surgery

My brother is 32 years old.He has an enlarged heart, a murmur, hypertension and heart failure.
You can have an operation for valve replacement.
I wonder if anyone had these bad things with them, and valve surgery, and also later.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

What is replacing the valve (there are 4) in the heart? Is Get a free man require a (long-term blood-thinning would be, but also very durable), or a pig valve (without anticoagulants, but not so long time)?

Many people get valve replacement and later went to feel better .... Make sure you know exactly who is with the surgery, so you know ... but I'm sure he'll be fine.

No. .. but surgery for heart valve is rather routine for all but relatives of the patient's concern and that people tend to worry about ..... well with cardiac valve .....

Guy replaced with only 2 valves are working. Frankly, I do not know a problem until he collapsed at work. He ran a few tests and realized that was his problem. She spoke to him a few days after his surgery and he said he did not feel good in this a long time.

It is a common procedure today, and his brother, certainly in good hands. They keep us informed and good luck to them both!
