When it comes to heart disease treatment, artificial tissue engineering has shown promising developments, particularly in valve replacement surgery. Currently, there are both mechanical and biological valve options available for patients who need replacements. Biological valves can be created from either human or animal tissue, with about 45% of valve replacements using biological materials. Looking to the future, gene editing technology like CRISPR is emerging as a potential breakthrough for treating inherited heart conditions such as high cholesterol and cardiac amyloidosis. Additionally, artificial intelligence is transforming cardiovascular medicine by analyzing large datasets to better predict heart disease risk and assist in diagnosing various heart conditions through ECG analysis.

Mom I never thought of that but that would be very interesting . I still do not know what they are going to do with my mitral valve.

Subrina, let me know when you find out. They are not going to do anything with my tricuspid valve. I found out yesterday it is not much worse than it was 5 years ago, and neither is the heart failure. The congenital specialists would like to see them put me on a different drug to manage the heart failure. He suggested Jardiance, which I found interesting it has been approved for heart failure as well as diabetes.
