My husband has cardiomyopathy, CHF and mitral valve insufficiency. He was recently told by his cardiologist that his mitral valve is functioning at a Grade 3. He's scheduled next week for a transesophageal echocardiogram and possibly another open heart surgery. He had a 6-way bypass 3 years ago and since this time, his health has gotten progressively worse. I'm afraid that he will not survive another major surgery. Do you know what his options might be?
I'm desperate for an answer.
Thank you. Cindy D.
