Tested, consulted and faced with imminent surgery for repair/replacement of valve.
Male, 60, congenital MVP, a problem since contacting bacterial infection. Severe mitral regurgitation, enlargement, familial thrombocytopenia, fatigued, otherwise good health.
Looking for 2nd opinion, Doctor recommendations in NYC.
I am sure you will find some great information through the Valve Replacement forum. People are very kind and generous with their information -- and they know what it's like. Very best wishes.

My friend had a valve repair done by Dr. David Adams at Mt. Sinai, and also recommends cardiologist Dr. John Halperin at Mt. Sinai. Good luck to you!
