The Lifelong Management of Heart Valve Disease (with Dr. Wilson Szeto of Penn Medicine)

https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - Patients diagnosed with heart valve disease have questions about its progression, medical management and treatment. In addition, patients may overlook the possibility of multiple heart valve procedures throughout their lifetime given the durability of heart valve replacement devices (tissue and mechanical valves) and failed heart valve repair operations. To learn more, HeartValveSurgery.com interviewed Dr. Wilson Szeto, the Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In this interview Dr. Szeto answers many questions about the long-term management and treatment of valvular conditions including aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation. The interview questions include:

1. How is valve disease different than other forms of cardiac disorders (e.g. progression, watchful waiting, treatment options, re-operations)?

2. How do those unique factors motivate you to develop a lifelong plan for managing your heart valve patients?

3. As patients think about the lifelong management of valve disease, what should patients know about ongoing heart monitoring and/or re-operations?

4. What are the 3 most important considerations when planning the lifelong management of valve disease?

5. What is your #1 piece of advice for patients who are just beginning their journey of valvular care?
