1 Year After Aortic Valve Replacement Open Heart Surgery - Tips for new patients.

This is a very different type of video that I am used to do, but, to celebrate exactly 1 year after open heart surgery, I decided to make a video to help new patients or people related to new patients.

It was very hard for me to find a lot of information about the process and what I was going to have to deal with, so to help new patients I decided to make a video going through every important detail I could remember. Hopefully this video will help you.

I share how my process of swapping my natural aortic valve to a mechanical aortic valve went. Everything said in this video is based on personal experience only. You should ALWAYS consult a doctor if having any symptoms, problems or questions.

Some topics I cover in this video:

- Beginning of medical process, surgery, stay at the hospital, and after surgery preparation and care.
- Some differences between pig, cow, and mechanical heart valve.
- Dealing with anticoagulants and INR.
- Heart rehab program, exercises and limits.
- Returning to your regular activities and lifestyle.
- Tips on helping you to have the smoothest recovery time as possible.
