Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My boyfriend is 20 years old and recently had open-heart surgery. He has a mechanical valve and has to take blood thinners. He has been drinking excessively (more than the recommended 2 drinks maximum) and I want to know if/how it can affect his condition if he continues to drink heavily.
