Lately I have been feeling palpitations in my throat from my heart beat. My pulse is normal as well as my blood pressure. I did have a aortic valve replacement (bovie) two and a half years ago. My last echo in July of last year showed all normal. Anyone have experience with this feeling?

Thanks all.

I had my bicuspid valve replaced two years ago with a bovine valve. The BAV had caused enlargment of Thoracic aorta but it was deemed not big enough (4.5cm) during surgery to replace. Just curious if replacing BAV with new valved is known to slow enlargement of Thoracic aneurysms
