Thanks for that clear explanation. A few years ago an echocardiogram showed that my mild to moderate mitral valve regurgitation had progressed to severe. After expert evaluation, A MitraClip was recommended and placed via the femoral vein in the groin. It was so easy from the patient’s point of view, with only one night in the hospital and no incisions. Three and a half years later it is working perfectly and I am very grateful.

Due to a prolapse or just a little leak with normal valve?

I have just watched your video and amazed at how poorly my leaky valve has been dealt with. My leak was discover 10years ago, I have had 4 echocardiogram done in that time, but have never seen a cardiologist. Recently after a bad viral infection I have become symptomatic: attend local hospital to be told I had heart failure and started me on Ramipril and discharged same day. I was told my wait time for a cardiologist appointment was 50 weeks as I am classed as routine. So I have booked to see a private consultant to discuss things further I hope she is as helpful as your video are. Thank you

Hi, Not sure if you'll pick this up, but I wanted to ask how things have progressed. I hope you've seen a cardiologist by now and are getting treatment for the leaky valve. 50 weeks is an insane amount of time to wait for a cardiologist appt.

I think your gastric reflux and heart palpitation link is probably going to save a lot of peoples lives. I know that you talked about it six years ago, but I’m just hearing it for the first time. Can you make an updated video in case you’ve learned anything new. Thank you so much for the bottom of my heart.

And I am always, ALWAYS so grateful for the support you give us! My son has a leaky bicuspid valve (congenital due to Down Syndrome) so has always been used to this but I will ask his consultant about the long term prognosis at our next appointment. Thank you ❤ Julia

I have stage 3a kidney disease diagnosed two years ago. In that time my doctor has explained very little, but in watching several of your videos l have noticed so many things coming together and answered a myriad of questions for me. I’m in Australia and have struggled to find a GP that will tell me more and not just offer one pill on top of another. Now our bulk bill system is fazing out and although l have reached the stage of many unexplained pains within my body, particularly my legs l now find l cannot afford to visit my GP as often as l need to. Thank you for giving your time to explain so many things to the general public.

I have definitely had breathlessness, and weakness as I try to exercise, and tiredness. I felt pounding in my head, my feet, and hot and cold sensations.

@@Thesimplelife00 Nice to hear from you. The ecg is a 'Heal Force PC-80B", made in Shanghai, about U$120 4 years ago, from Ebay I think. Very useful for seeing if I'm still in sinus rhythm etc. The stethoscope is a basic Chinese one, traditional pattern, $20 from a local stockist, valuable for directly listening to the sounds; it's obvious when there's a leak, as that makes a woosh sound instead of a regular beat. So far, no problems! Occasionally I also check oxygen level with a fingertip monitor, and blood pressure and beat rate with an Omron unit from a local pharmacy. Completing my instrumentation armory is a Fitbit wrist monitor, a fabulous modern instrument with many uses, including logging. All this is made more necessary because my surgery was the old-fashioned way, maximally invasive (not using a DaVinci robot), and the big incision through the heart muscle left me with poor rhythm, susceptible to AF etc. if I'm not careful with lifestyle, including diet (excessive tyramine is risky). It's great, and simple, to check myself with these inexpensive instruments. I hope that helps you.

As always. Thank you so much. I have a leaky mitral valve. Being watched closely. I have been playing tennis. Do you think exercise helps keep it in ck

Dear DR. This is exactly what I have, mitral valve leak regurgitation. 65 F. 48 kg. 5.4f I’ve been on beta blockers for three years. Now the doctor is putting me on statin as well for cholesterol but it’s giving me muscle pain so I’m cutting them down myself and adding natto beans supplement. I will know by end of this month if it works. He also prescribed amitriptyline for years which causes side effects and I have stopped taking for now. But he kept insisting. Anyway my heart leakage is diagnosed moderate to severe. I try to get an echocardiogram every one and a half to two years. My doctor hasn’t said I needed an operation yet. Wait and see as you said. I see him briefly every 3 months. I get tired easily at times. At times I can walk for an hour with no symptoms, but sometimes walking in the heat or in a building I get breathless. Maybe it’s the trapped air and I’m not sure. Lately, and especially after Covid vaccines, I get more irregular heartbeats, more often now I could hear my heart sound like a tugboat…like drrrrr drrrr all the time. I read that irregular heart palpitations sounds scarier than it really is but bothers me nevertheless. Yesterday the heart suddenly beat very very fast and I got dizzy. I sat down and did some deep breathing exercise and after a while it went away. Not sure how much I should panic. I live alone so sometimes it’s worrisome. If there’s an emergency of condition should I take something immediately to prevent a heart attack? Aspirin? Or? Death is part of nature and I’m not afraid of that I just don’t want to be dead for days without anybody knowing. Not a good sight. 🤭 Thank you very much DR. You’re one of the very very few physicians that care from your heart. No wonder you are a heart doctor. Stay well and happy. 🙏🏼💕
