Friday May 21st - Went to see Dr. Linda Lau to fill Flonase subscription for allergies. She discovered a heart murmur. Sent for EKG - abnormal. Sent for Echocardiogram, discovered MVP - Mitral Valve Prolapse. Sent to Dr. Shukla, Cardiologist. Was told needed heart surgery to repair valve.

Tuesday May 25th - Went for Nulclear Stress Test and 24 hour Holter Monitor.

Friday May 28th - Met with Dr. Shukla to discuss results of tests. Indicated severity of MVP and refered Kenny to Dr. Victor Driecer, Cardivascular Surgeon. Ordered TEE (Trans-esophogeal Echocardiogram) and Angeogram.

Monday June 7th - Admitted to Mountain Vista Hospital for TEE and Angeogram. Results showed severe backflow into Left Atrium from Left Ventrical through the Mitral Valve with significant enlargement of the Left Ventrical. Thought surgery may be acheduled for Thursday June 10th.

Tuesday June 8th - Met with Dr. Driecer to discuss surgery, after review of blood work and test results. Determined that diagnosis was MVD (Mitral Valve Degenoration) rather than MVP. The valve flap is not attached to the muscle that causes it to open and close. The connective tissue likely deteriorated due to bacteria (strep) . They need to repair the valve flap and reattach it to the muscle. Dr. Driecer made the decision to postpone surgery due to reduced Kidney fuction as a result of the radioactive dye and contrast dye putting additional stress on the kidneys. Released.

Wednesday June 9th - Dr. Driecer and Dr. Shukla ordered Carotid Artery Doplar/Ultrasound and CTA (CAT Scan) to determine entry for surgery (Left side with bypass through the groin or through the Sternum).

Monday June 14th - Admitted to Mountain Vista for Carotid Doplar and CTA - Released.
