I have a bicuspid aortic valve with moderate to severe AR and a mildly dilated LV but preserved EF of 60. My BP is 140/80. Is it safe for me to undergo gallbladder microsurgery with these heart conditions?

View allI'm really concerned about my husband. He's 34 and doesn't smoke or drink, and he seems physically fit. But his TMT report came back positive, and the Echo showed mild LVF. We did a CT angiography, and it was normal, with no blockages found. Should we be worried about these results? Any advice would be helpful.
"Hi, based on the information provided, it seems like your husband is in good overall health despite the positive TMT report and mild LVF on Echo. Since the CT angiography showed no blockage, that is a good sign. To manage the mild LVF, your husband can take ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5mg once daily to help improve heart function. It's also important for him to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor his heart health. I hope this helps."

I'm curious about whether there's a connection between having a hysterectomyspecifically when the ovaries are still healthyand the potential for heart-related issues down the line. Can you shed some light on this for me?
The removal of the uterus, known as a hysterectomy, is not directly correlated with an increased risk of heart-related diseases in the future, as long as the ovaries are functioning normally. However, there may be an increased risk of cardiovascular disease if both the uterus and ovaries are removed before natural menopause, due to the sudden decrease in estrogen levels. If the ovaries are intact and functioning normally after a hysterectomy, the risk of heart-related diseases is not significantly increased.
