I hope it helped as much as my aortic valve replacement - I was getting less than 40% of the blood flow I was supposed to and felt so much better immediately after the procedure. Any defect in our pumps really mess up the system.

I really should have gone to the surgeon much sooner but it wasn't too bad until about Christmas last year and everybody was expecting things to be better by this time. I expect by the time I can get it operated on, it will be close to being an emergency.
