What Precautions Should Be Taken In Higher Elevations?
Good morning Gents, I was treated for an MVP few years ago and now have metallic valve. I plan to move to Nigeria, and I worry if getting infected with malaria or other tropical deseases may impair my valve, or couse any cardiac problem in general considering my situation. Thank you SV
