HANS, I HAD ECHO CARDIOGRAM AT 1 YR POST OP BUT DR. DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT LEFT ATRIUM.MAYBE YOURS WAS A SPECIAL ECHO. ANY WAY I HAVE YOUR SAME PROBLEM. NOW AT 19 MONTHS POST OP I STILL HAVE DIFFICULTY WITH HEART RATE. RESTING IS 49 BPM. IT IS DIFFICULT TO JOG CONTINUOUSLY, BECAUSE I FEEL UNCONFORTABLE ABOVE 105 BPM. IT TAKES ME 15 MIN TO JOG 1 MILE, BUT WITH INTERVALS OF RUN 100 YD AND WALK 100 YDS I CAN GO 3 MILES IN AVG 12:45 PER MILE.AT END OF FAST RUN FOR 100 YDS RATE HAS NOW GONE TO 122BPM. ACTUALLY FOR THE 3 MILES IT BOUNCES BETWEEN 105 AND 115. I HOPE IN FUTURE IT BECOMES EASIER SO I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO RUNNING INSTEAD OF DREADING IT. I AM 62 YEARS OLD. GOOD LUCK.
