Bicuspid aortic valve here, down to an estimated 1 cm, based on echo. Next week, I am traveling to Shands teaching hospital at the University of Florida for a CT scan and a consult with their surgical team.
So far, I have no symptoms, but the valve has gone from no stenosis 5 years ago, to mild 20 months ago, to 1 cm now. They're telling me OHS is in my future, somewhere between 6 months (and that was 2 months ago) and 2 years, depending on how fast it goes and depending on what the CT shows on my root, etc.
So what do I ask the surgical folks next week?
Thanks, John.
