Day IV: Information Finally!

l had my much anticipated visit by my attending physician Dr. Litwack and his associates. I was prepared with written questions. Here are the answers: My esophagus is normal. The troponin level peaked so there is no longer any need to track it. I experienced a combination heart attack and stroke. This is not uncommon. I will probably need aortic valve replacement. I can inspect my chart. The plan for Monday is to try for both the TEE and the cath, both of which will help with the diagnosis and treatment plan.
