Well, I'm home from Cleveland. I had my one year check-up. I got a clean bill of health. Everything looks good. My slightly enlarged aorta has not changed since the septal myectomy last year. The one bad bout of afib back in May seems to be under control with meds. As long as I don't have any more, I'm just going to be monitored with six month check-ups locally.
I did ask about limits on picking up things. The Dr. said 20 to 30 lbs was OK, 50 lbs once in awhile as long as I lifted correctly ( use my legs to lift). As far as the max heart rate during exercising, he said take 220 minus my age, then take 70% of that. That would be my heart rate.
220-50 equals 170, minus 30% equals a target heart rate of 119. I can live with that...
