A member asked:
Scarring on mitral valve from endocarditis had 2 strokes what are cjances of a 3rd?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No one knows!: You need an expert cardiology review, and then treatment directed at reducing embolic showers that cause your strokes. But even with full workup any answer is still a guess! sort of like asking the chances of a 3rd heart attack after already having heart disease severe enough to cause 2 heart attacks! but there are ways to reduce your risks. See your doctor!
