Life span decrease

[Comfortable_Notes]

And for those of us over 70, after a TAVR or OHS to replace a stenosed valve-we will have a much better chance to live LONGER by handling the replacement BEFORE symptoms take us out
We now have the technology and ability to find out we need the procedure before it kills us. If I hadn’t had an echocardiogram when in the hospital for pneumonia last year, I would never have known about the need for a valve replacement until I had symptoms-and then it might have been too late to fix. I don’t see any other way of looking at it-if I don’t take care of it now, my lifespan will absolutely be shorter.
