Excellent questions: First go back and bring your list of questions to the Cardio Thoracic surgeon and surgical team and who operated on you.And or the Cardiologist who will continue to monitor and follow you. They know your particular case well and have examined you. They should be able to answer many of your questions. Good luck!
