HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and looking to the history given here I could say that if it is valve replacement then you need to take the medicine for blood thinning regularly and periodically get done the INR test this is the only option you could do adjusting the dose of medicine according to INR value is must, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
