Had my 3rd echo cardiogram in three years, the doc said there is no change whats so ever since last years echo. No symptoms, no pain, it is the aortic valve that has mild to moderate stenosis. Slight regurgitation that they could no hear with a stethoscope, they could only see it on the echo, he...

From what I could learn from doc 2 was that some people with this issue progress very slowly and others more rapidly , he said his own brothers stenosis has been status quo for 15 years , has not gotten any worse since org diagnosis

I was taken aback by the doc saying , maybe a year, maybe 5 years or maybe never need be re[placed but I assure you he did. My internist also said he did not hear anything that sounded like severe stenosis, both docs said very mild at best.

I wish I had an answer for you , especially since we own a CBD co. who bottles and sells our own brand (not selling here mods so don't get mad)

The first doc said I had severe Stenosis os the aortic valve, he said it would need to be replaced in a year, maybe 5 or 10 or maybe never? He retired, his partner reevaluated me and said the stennosis is mild at best and my heart is in great shape. I had the stress test tread mill test with the...

I grew up in jersey and still maintain a residence there besides Pa, they are pretty equal in time spent . I can vote in either state (not both), my point is to get care at deborah you have to be a resident of NJ , anyone have experience at deborah? I have heard nothing but great things about...

Is it always needed to have a pacemaker installed with a valve replacement

Thank you very much, I have been doing research since I came home Tuesday, Which valve did you have put in, if mech do you have any issues with the blood thinners? I have watched 100's of both types of fixes OHS & TAVR I am thinking about going into NYC to get this done , I am looking for the...

I think once the Doc here's of my family history he might prefer going the TAVR route?

Since I'm new here I assume in the waiting room means , you're awaiting a date for a fix? Open heart or TAVR?

So I get the bad news that my aortic valve is not what it should be, no symptoms or issues, discovered during and Ultra sounds stress echo looking for a different problem which it turns out did not exist . After the Doc tells me the valve might last 5 years, 10 years or the rest of my life, says...

Thank you , The open heart part has me scared to death, not bragging but I have never been afraid of anything in my life, the only thing that scares me is not being there for my wife, I grew up on the jersey shore, bounced at one of the toughest bars around, boxed in the ring for 63 amateur...

Well I had no symptoms and they were looking for something else, Doc is a cardiologist interventionist , he said your heart is strong, no damage anywhere, then he says very casual , your aortic valve has an issue, nothing wrong right now , he said it might last 5 years before going severe or 10...
