Hi, I was looking for some help. Its regarding my mother (Age: 55), who needs to undergo an operation - cist removal from Ovary. She is also a heart patient. Doctors had told that she needs a mitral valve replacement about 20 years back. Her 2D Echo had been showing function of about 1.8 (dont recollect exact word for this measure - its either the valve size or heart function parameter). One of the doctors mentioned, its not up for a repalcement yet as its at the boundary and we stuck to that and things have been fine so far. In recent 2D Echo tests, this measurement is showing a dropp at 1.64. I d like to know if this is ok/safe for undergoing this surgery with full anesthesia?
