The 7th will be my 2 year anniversary for my aortic valve repair. Just wanted to say thanks to all those who helped me out here when I needed/need it.

I had my one year follow up today and glad to report it was mostly a thumbs up . They confirmed my suspicion that a ct angio usually does show some calcification/ scar tissue one year post surgery due to endothelial damage and it's expected to stabilize now that everything is healed . My left...

Just figured I'd share a little good news I got yesterday for anyone who cares to hear it . Went down to the University of Penn Hospital yesterday to have a cardiac cath performed and it went better than expected. I was told based on other tests that they thought I had some plaque in one of my...
