Hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
Basically you will need some medicines Life long.You had BMV almost 10 yrs back and you have irregular heart rhythm i.e. Atrial Fibrillation.so you have to continue Acitrom to prevent clot formation and stroke.
to keep rate under control you will need Nebistar group of medicine.You may discuss to discontinue lanoxin if your heart function is normal.
I suggest you to get your Echo done to look for any restenosis or leakage of mitral valve requiring any further intervention.
My best wishes
Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD
