Hi Willy and Corrij!
I hope you are doing well
we had cardiology appointment yesterday, the dr wanted to see how Lara was doing with more diuretics and then increse carvedilol.
Lara is stilll in 28% SF (great), the size of the left ventricule is a little smaller, but doc thinks is becouse of diuretics, once Lara get betablocker for a few days, size go back to what it was before. We´ll see, we have to go back next tuesday again, doc wants to know Lara well and besides, already increse carvedilol, was on 3,125 mg at day, now is almost 5 mg (is weird this tablet dosis).
One thing doc said is that she wants to keep a close eye on mitral valave, it leaks, no more than before, she told me is the same (even so in the report says 65 defficiency and was 70, but maybe is not enough to say "improve"), but she thinks the valve is not helping the atrium to get smaller.
If the valve doesn´t get better and the rest of the heart neither, or get worse, we should consider to se a sergeoun to repair the valve. but in the future! if Lara´s heart gets better and the mitral valve don´t, we can do mitral surgery at 14 or 15 years. BUT we have to see what happens, maybe the valve gets better
This are the news.
I´ve checked the dosis/weight of supplements and we are ok.
I´ll research for acetyl-carnitine.
cheers!
Ale.
