Dr Pool , I took your recommendation and choosing Dr White for robotic surgery since you are not working in my area anymore. So I had the aortic valve replaced with a cow valve. Surgery was done at Baylor Scott & White in Plano Tx February 16 th last year. You said you had trained Dr White . So yes he did an excellent job. I am 75 years and back to doing life fully with only a tiny incision mark by my right breast-- barely visible. On no prescription medication and grateful for your advice.

My EF is 70%. I’m wondering why you say that’s not good. I won’t have another echocardiogram and doctor visit for three months so I will ask him the next time I see him. I have HOCM and I’m on Camzyos 5mg. I’m on my 5th month and have seen great improvement over all.

brilliant! love the way you speak with so much knowledge and conviction!

What about 82%? That's what appears in my echo result

They call it tv PROGRAMMING, for a reason

I’ve read it twice!!, it’s great and I want to read it again

2 months are ypu sure?

My mother underwent 2nd redo mvr. Her lvef is 45%. Is this good sir. And her on x mitral ppg/mpg is at 12/5 is this good

I was diagnosed with left side heart failure 18 months ago with an ejection fraction of 21 percent. After treatment with entresto, forxiga,eplerenone, and nebivolol plus eod injections of B12 my EF is now 40 percent.

My lvef is 55 I m 38 years old no bp ,no sugar no smoking no alcohol but weakness on standing and moving.is this ef is normal or less.

you MUST exercise regularly. make yourself at least walk daily. You MUST exercise the heart. period

I bench pressed 120 kg 3 months after my quintuple. 11 months later I rode 65 miles in 3:45min. All depends where you started from. Cycling I started from scratch

I'm a 50yr old male. This has been a rough year for me, I've had 2 Heart Attacks and 1 Stroke this year; plus my Ejection Fraction keeps getting worse... Jan 28th EF: 30%-35% May 6th EF: 15%-20% Oct 5th EF:10%-15% I try not to show it to my family, but I'm getting worried... I'm trying to keep the Faith and stay in the fight though..

In 2019 I was diagnosed with atrial flutter and had an ablation in 2021 with covid lockdown in between. I never really noticed anything 3:06 different with my heart! Also, I regularly attend gym classes but in 2023 I noticed more fatigue and muscle tightness during exercise that hadn’t bothered me before. I had an ECG and Echocardiogram that showed my heart as normal with an EF of 65%. This was at resting heart rate but my issues were caused during exercise with a raised heat rate. However this year in 2024, April I was diagnosed with covid and stubborn chest infection that was eventually stopped with 2 different types of antibiotics. Also I was diagnosed in June with atrial fibrillation after a BNP blood test, ECG and Echocardiogram that showed my EF had dropped 3:06 to 40%. I now felt the detrimental effects of atrial fibrillation especially walking up hills with my 🐶🐶. That caused me extreme fatigue and breathlessness quickly, causing me to stop, continually. I had another ablation in September this year 2024; done more quickly because I was in permanent AF and the longer I leave it the more damage to my heart. I am also on low dose blood thinner, beta blocker and blood pressure, drugs. I have had a follow up ECG and showed the ablation worked well. I have another follow up next year and Echocardiogram; so will I return to normal with an EF of 65%? Last time I walked up a hill with my 🐶🐶 I could do it without stopping 👍 What caused my EF to drop from 65% to 40% in the space of about 6 months? Thanks 🙏

46yr old - My LVEF went from 53% to 46% in a year but I have a bicuspid aortic valve that has moderate regurgitation. I'm curious how much further the LVEF has to lower before I'm considered for a valve replacement? I also have an aortic root of 4.2.

Bro.. America and other countries blood is red and black

People who say stuff like this clearly forget personal experiences exist, if you tell your kids they smart the they start slacking on studying their grades will go down and kids will pick up on the fact they did better when studying. There are some exceptions to this rule for example I was on a culinary (cooking) course, I barely studied for a single written exam but I passed all first time despite falling the practise exams this is likely in part because of me remembering from the lessons. However it is important to study.

With each 50 patients have

First black blood Second blue blood Third red blood Face look same But cip other colour blood others

Thank you for putting this in terms that's understandable by non-physicians.

I did CABG since last two months but now my wounds hv started opening up. Why ?

is it normal to feel sore in my heartlike apain when i mow and weedeat in the heat or when i work outside and lift stuff i had my cbg surgery lastoct. almost a year. but when i sit down and rest i feel normal again is this normal.

Took me 22 months. My biggest issue was hypersensitivity of my chest skin. Weight of a feather HURT. 23 months after bypass I had a freaking heart attack. Still getting well from that. On the bypass: 2 of the 3 have become blocked again. 1 doc says don't worry about it, 1 says I'm a dead man walking and 1 says new veins will grow around the occluded arteries.I say God will decide. I'm 63 now.

Doc, does one needs plavix after balooning.. asking as my dad is alrdy in neuro surgery and recovering from it.

Mona Lisa is more interesting in documentary, believe me. lol And Trump understand that very much: what he say is not important, but what you see, it is. And he is a master at playing that game.

Good info but please stop with annoying background music. Very disruptive to discussion.

Is there an alternative to plavix?

The worst part is the varieties of pain as well as numbness in the wrist/hand and leg from the incisions. The surgeon must have cut into the nerves and tendons. There was very little pain in my chest from the operation. The only time I felt chest pain is when coughing or sneezing.

I threw my television out in 2019 , I bought my TV in 2014 but I didn't use it much since I was in college.

It's been less than 2 months since I had open heart surgery in which my Ascending aorta and aortic valve were replaced. My surgery was on 3/29 and I went home on April 1st (less than 4 days in hospital). 9 days after surgery I walked my first mile outside. I'm currently up to 5 miles a day at 4 mph. It took about 5 weeks to get back to the speed I was walking at prior to surgery. 14 days after surgery I was allowed to drive again. I currently only have a weight restriction of 15lbs till 12 weeks have passed (each surgeon has different timeframes on that one).

I ask myself the same question all the time. I wish television would start to show a lot more positive news and movies. Maybe the good old days weren’t perfect but, I know there was a lot more joy, respect, and compassion for others. Loved your video. Have a wonderful day. Thank you

Hi Doctor, my EF percentage is 74%. Is it normal? I m not having any other symptoms.

You forgot about the mental support that is just as important, every person is different but the need to support the patient mental needs is critical to recovery, you will have questions and you will have fears and you will need to talk to someone.

Thank you this is bringing new light to my situation.

Best info available. Thanks.

First time seeing a clear explanation on AFib. Sad nobody can pinpoint the causes

My husband had a quintuple bypass 4 month ago and he says his leg where they harvested the vein still hurts a lot. He said there’s a burning feeling sometimes.

I really appreciated your sincere, unscripted remarks. You spoke from the "heart". I am heading in for my open heart aortic valve replacement in a few days, so I am watching a lot of videos, and I liked yours the best because you answered my questions as if we were just chatting in your office. I am 60, male, great health, and a construction worker. I hope to be one of those bouncing back in a couple of weeks! Thank you for your wonderful work and all the lives you save and improve. God bless you.

Sir i am bilal from pakistan last year .I had a heart attack, I went to the hospital, I had an angiography and it was found that I will have heart surgery, a vein was removed from my right leg and three veins were inserted. Now I am told that my heart EF is 35% and normal. Yes, I have a question, doctor, please guide me that my EF will increase, I am 43 years old, is it possible or can I live a normal life if my EF remains as it is?

I have a fib and was diagnosed in 2018 with an EF of 42% after after 7 months of attacks of over 11 of them afib attacks my heart now works at 30% from the actor echo Scan they did on it I'm very scared now on borrowed time

You will only heal at the speed your body allows you to...There are no short cuts with a sternotomy!

Took about 18 months for me to recover. Widow maker and 2 other arteries were from 75% to 90% blocked with other little blocks in other places. Was getting weaker and weaker and could not breathe good. I had to have triple bypass and did not feel right for about this 18 month length of time. Did not even get my confidence back for about 6 to 9 months. EF went up from 30% up to 45% in this length of time as the heart cells that were dormant and starved for blood came back to life again and then I started to feel like a human again. I could breathe and sleep without being propped up on 2 or 3 pillows again. Now I have to keep my EF from going down again with 4 to 5 different drugs and keep busy walking, working at my hobbies or something, going shopping at places like Walmart and watch my eating and salt as much as possible. Fingers crossed and hope to see another 10 years, but whatever it is Im going to relish every minute of the time I got left.!
