Hi,
You need a surgical intervention when you have cardiac symptoms. tiredness, breathlessness, chest pain, difficulty doing routine work, frequent lung infection and there is increased pulmonary congestion.
Also, check for Ejection Fraction in the echocardiogram report. less 45 % means you are going for cardiac failure - needs surgical attention.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr S.R.Raveendran, Sexologist
