Now what? Navigating heart valve issues with ET. |
In addition to juggling ET, I am also being monitored for a wonky mitral (heart) valve. Just had my annual echocardiogram to check on its progress, so this is a good time to talk a little about how ET complicates the health picture for those of us with additional health issues.
My mitral valve prolapse was officially diagnosed when I was about 30. (I think I've recounted the story about how one of my college friends in vet school actually detected the murmur when we were in our 20s and playing around with her dog stethoscope. Yes, people doctors could learn a lot from veterinarians ...)
