Heart Diseases

I work as a receptionist in a local hospital outpatients dept. where I give plain and simple instructions to patients and professional staff. patients e.g. have to be directed to the depts. changing rooms to get undress before a medical staff tends to them when they are seated. Now I will have some stupid idiot asking me should they return back to the reception area after they have gotton undress? Now isn't this stupid or what? I am somebody who sits behind the desk. I simply instruct these patients to wait in the changing room area until they are called by one of the medical team. Almost everyday I encounter some kind of stupid question.

I was born with congenital heart disease - Ebsteins Anomaly - (ASD and deformed tricuspid valve) - 1989 I had OHS where the hole was closed and the valve reconstructed. Lately, I have become quite tired, and after having a echocadiograph, found my heart has become enlarged due to the valve not closing properly and extra pressure now placed on my heart. My average heart rate is about 40 bpm and cardiologists do not want to operate on the valve again because it is too dangerous. Only when it begins to fail will they do something. Is it true that doctors don't like to operate on the tricuspid valve or should I be getting a 3rd opinion?

My late husband had tricuspid atrisia. My son was recently treated for super ventricle tachycardia. My father and daughter have also been diagnosed with the latter. In the case of my children, are the two connected?
And also, can you give me a description of the two, please? I'm out of my mind with worry...

My CK was 930 with CKMB of 5.5 and MBI of 0.6, Myoglobin 117, Troponin <0.06. The next day the CK was 550, CKMB 3.3, MBI 0.5, Myo 143, Trp <0.06. I'm thinking this is a lot of just skeletal muscle causing this elevation, but I'll probably see a doctor just in case.

suffering dizziness and heart palpitataions for almost a year now. Considering the length of time for that, would that rule out a clogged artery? Hoping it is just an electrical impluse problem...that may be benign. CAD is a possiable cause as well. If it were sino atrial problem...would it cause the chest pain and pain that I sometimes feel in arm. I know CAD would. Heart rate is at 38bpm.

a dear friend of mine was taken to the hospital from the nursing home with chest pains. He was diagnosed with phemonia (he also suffers from diabetes, which is not under control, dementia, edema (from the diabetes and heart disease). The morning after being admitted he arrested (cardiac arrest). The ICU doctor was there when it happened and he "worked on him for 35 minutes" and he is now on a ventilator and undergoing hypothermic protocal, which from what I understand is to help his brain. He is being warmed up now and they will test brain function. One member of the family with health power of attorney, wants to keep him alive. His wishes were not to be kept alive, but to be let to Go to His FAther in Heaven. I know God is in control. Has anyone ever seen someone come out of a situation like this have a good quality of life? Any suggestions, or ideas? Please pray for grace in passing or a miracle that will restore him to a good quality of life.
Thank you

My dad just had a quad. bypass 2 weeks ago, they left his pacemaker in and now he's back in the hospital and they say he has CHF. Is this something that they could have seen when they were in there? What is it? Can people live with this condition for a long time? What happens to them?

During my annual checkup this year my doctor detected one in my heart. Last year she said my heart was fine. But my doctor said it could just be an innocent murmur and not to worry so much about it. But I'm just curious to know if teens can have them.
