I have two mechanical heart valves, mitral and aortic. My triscupid valve is leaking, and I have EF (ejection fraction) which means my heart is not "pumping", "squeezing", "pushing" adequately. I am on metropolol and recently changed my losartan medication to entresto to hopyfully improve the EF. I worry if the EF cannot be corrected . . . and continued pressure is put on my heart muscle.
