If I live long enough I can expect two heart related issues, the pig valve wearing out and the pacemaker I got while in the hospital recovering from the open heart surgery will need the battery replaced at some point

My Dad was given a pig valve because they told him he was too old for a mechanical valve. I believe he was about 60 at the time. Maybe late 50s. That was in the mid 70s..
