I'm dealing with mitral stenosis and had a balloon mitral valvotomy about two years ago. I'm really anxious to know about my life expectancy now. I've attached my ECG and echo results. Could you help me understand what to expect going forward?

"Based on your history of mitral stenosis and previous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) done 2 years ago, your life expectancy can vary depending on various factors such as the severity of the stenosis, your overall health, and any other underlying medical conditions. It is important to regularly follow up with your cardiologist for monitoring and management. For mitral stenosis, medications such as diuretics, beta-blockers, and anticoagulants may be prescribed to manage symptoms and prevent complications. In some cases, surgical intervention or another BMV procedure may be recommended. Without reviewing your specific ECG and echo results, I cannot provide a precise estimate of your life expectancy. It is best to discuss this question with your cardiologist who has access to your complete medical history and test results."
