Valve Disease

I started having heart issues around 1990s and it started with high blood pressure, but then developed atrial fibrillation. It turned out that the regurgitation through my tricuspid valve had suddenly jumped to the top of the scale and needed treatment.

A longtime professor of biology and photographer of nature, Johnny started his heart journey 30 years ago when he began experiencing high blood pressure before developing atrial fibrillation. In 2019, Johnny met with Dr. Paul Sorajja, the Roger L. and Lynn C. Headrick Family Chair of the Valve Science Center at the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation for severe tricuspid regurgitation.
