I know a woman who is 72 years old she had heart function of 40 percent two years ago spring of this year she became extreme short of breath and could hardly function with Daily activities. her doctor did echocardiogram it showed heart function at 20% with leaking mitral valve. heart surgeon said her heart was very weak she could have heart surgery to repair the valve or not live one or two years. she had the surgery and it's been down hill ever since with recurrence of hospital visits ever since this was done in July of this year.
