The featured speaker is Dr. Kevin Hodges, MD, a leading minimally-invasive heart surgeon from Northwestern Medicine. The webinar was hosted by Adam Pick, the patient who started HeartValveSurgery.com in 2006.
Key questions addressed during the webinar include:
1. What should patients know about the onset of symptoms, heart failure and death?
2. Which changes in heart function are critical for patients to know and track?
3. What can stress echocardiograms and blood tests reveal about valve deterioration?
4. What is the newest research about atrial fibrillation and heart valve disease specific to long-term patient outcomes?
5. When and why is early surgery recommended for patients?
The webinar also features an interactive "Questions & Answers" session with Dr. Kevin Hodges and the webinar attendees.

I had open heart surgery on Sept 17th. I have watched many of "Adam's" videos. Thank you for this site and the insight into many of the procedures!

Hi Robert, Great to hear you have enjoyed watching Adam's videos in our RUclips channel for heart valve disease patients and care partners! Congrats on having your procedure this past September 17!
what about with a bi cuspid valve and an aortic root aneurism?
Hi Jant, Great question about bicuspid aortic valves and root aneurysms. Here is link to a video all about bicuspid aortic valve and valve-sparing aortic root replacement that might be helpful for you - ruclips.net/video/k7KgttCXw2o/видео.html. And, here is a patient webinar with the Mayo Clinic all about advances in bicuspid aortic valve therapy that you might find helpful - ruclips.net/video/TW3PuWTzA8s/видео.html. 👍👍👍
I’m scheduled for ohs for bav replacement and aneurysm repair. I have never had a-fib in the past. Should I ask my surgeon my risk of a-fib after valve replacement? Should I ask about adding Maze?
Very informative! video! Thank you
Great to hear you enjoyed this video with Dr. Kevin Hodges about the warning signs of heart valve disease.
Is a tight aortic valve good.
Hi Bowtie, A tight, narrow or blocked aortic valve is not a good thing. The medical term for this is aortic stenosis which can cause shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, heart failure and, ultimately, premature death. You can learn more about aortic stenosis at this video link - ruclips.net/video/f43WS6Uo2Co/видео.html. Hope that helps!

We would encourage you to discuss your aortic valve regurgitation with your medical team.
If I got calcified aorta valve is valve replacement necessary?
Hi, You raise a really great question. Unfortunately, as a patient advisory group, we are not trained or capable of providing specific medical advice. That said, we would strongly encourage you to discuss this question with your medical team. If you are not getting information that you are comfortable with then perhaps you should get a second opinion to validate and support next steps in the treatment process.
