Have you written a complaint to your local PALS about how the results from your test from three years ago were never forwarded on to your doctor? If the results showed something of concern and it has not been addressed until now, I would recommend that you make an appointment with a GP and see if they feel it is suitable that you have further testing carried out to see what your valve health is like now. They would also be able to comment on whether you need regular check ups to monitor it as well.

All the best.

Get your GP to make an urgent referral back to a cardiologist to follow up on your valves.

You def need regular check ups on your valves. Echocardiography surveillance is recommended . Af should also be kept under regular review.
