Exercise, Athletics & Heart Valve Disease: What Should Patients Know?

https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com - When diagnosed with heart valve disease, professional athletes, weekend warriors, and exercise enthusiasts are often confused about the "Do's and Don'ts" specific to their cardiac disorder and the sports/activities they enjoy. To help patients better understand the opportunities and potential risks of exercise in the presence of valvular disorders (including aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation), we interviewed Dr. Allan Stewart, the Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Miami Heart Institute in Miami, Florida. Dr. Stewart, who has performed over 5,000 cardiac operations, is a triathlete and marathon runner who has trained with many of his heart surgery patients. Key questions addressed by Dr. Stewart in this video include: 1. Is it common that heart valve disease impacts people who are physically fit and eat right? 2. Have you ever performed heart surgery on a professional athlete who returned to play at the professional level? 3. How can heart valve diseases impact patients who regularly exercise? (e.g. symptoms and risks) 4. Should patients with heart valve disease exercise prior to heart surgery? Is it different for aortic stenosis? Or, mitral regurgitation? 5. How can the progression of heart valve disease impact a patient’s ability to exercise? 6. How can other cardiac conditions factor into patient exercise routines prior to an intervention? 7. After heart valve surgery, how should patients return to an exercise program? 8. What patient success stories can you share to inspire patients with heart valve disease? 9. What is your best advice for athletic patients with heart valve disease who may need surgery?
