Do Biological Aortic Valves Get Affected By Hot Temperature?
I have a mechanical aortic valve, had it for 20 years.. now i also need a mitral valve replacement..before they operate they are checking the old aortic to see if that needs replacing too. It would be nice to get off warfarin and have two biological replacements..however I now live in a hot country and have been told that biological ones can be affected by hot temperatures..is this true?
hello, I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM. There is no need to fear effect of hot temperature on biological valve.In india I have many patients with Biological valves without any problem.Yes it is better to be off warfarin, My best wishes Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
