Hi Everyone,
I haven't posted in some time, but have been reading through the formums and lurking around I saw my cardiologiest recently, and she sent me a follow-up letter with the following information:
Severve stenosis with peak and mean gradients of 64 and 37 mmHG respectively.
Aortic valve area of .61 cm2.
Trace AR.
Things seem to be getting worse as when I had a cath in May of 2005, my numbers were:
Peak gradient of 74 mmHG. Aortic valve gradient of 53 mmHG, and valve area of 1.067 cm2 (the echo I had just prior to this indicated an area of .68 and PG/MG of 85/40 mmHG).
Sorry for all the numbers. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts - it's all a bit confusing.
Thanks!
Ashley
