Mended Hearts Open Forum

Greetings Folks,

If you thought the TAVR procedure would be the finish line. A new valve, a new lease on life but you're still struggling to catch your breath  and feeling worn out. It's not because your TAVR failed. It might be because it uncovered a second, hidden condition. I would  like to introduce you to Cardiac Amyloidosis-a condition where sticky, abnormal proteins build up in your heart muscle, making it stiff and preventing it from pumping properly.

It's surprisingly common in TAVR patients (up to 16%), and its sympt

oms-fatigue, shortness of breath, and leg swelling-are the exact same as what you felt before your procedure. It hides, making it easy to miss.

Here's the game-changing info:

1. A New Class of Medication: For the first time, we have highly effective treatments that can target this protein and stop the disease from progressing.
2. It's Not Just "Getting Older": If you are still feeling the same symptoms months after your TAVR, it's time to find out why.
3. Your TAVR was Step 1: It fixed the plumbing. If you have amyloidosis, you need Step 2 to fix the muscle.

Don't wait for your symptoms to get worse. Start a conversation with your cardiologist that could change your entire recovery journey.
