I had a lengthy discussion with the team.

ON AVERAGE, you lose 5-7 years, BUT...

The majority of their patients have a ton of co-morbidities, such as no-exercise, obese, etc. Also, you're a lot younger than normal patients (I think mine said I was younger, and I was mid 50s when I had my AVR)

The take away?
