Hi All, I haven't posted in a long time, but now I have a question. A few years ago my PCP heard a loud murmur, sent me for an echo which showed mild aortic stenosis. In between then and now I have had 2 other echo's which showed nothing but trace regurg. on 3 valves. I went to my PCP...

Hi Everyone, I haven't posted in awhile, so a little background before my questions. I was found to have a heart murmur in July of 2002. Was sent for an echo, which said I had mild aortic stenosis. Fast forward a year to August 2003, I had been on a weight loss plan and had at that time...

Hi All, I got the results of my latest echo on Thursday. A year ago the echo showed aortic stenosis with diastolic dysfunction and mild wall thickening, and mild left atrium enlargement. Since then, I have lost 101 pounds and I walk daily, 4 miles. The results this time were very...

I had a doctors appointment today and found out a bit more on the echo I had done in August. I have a few questions, that maybe someone on here can answer. I have mild aortic stenosis, he said my aortic valve area was 1.6x2.6, something about 2cm. I take it that the 2cm is my aortic valve...

I hope this isn't a silly question, I am probably having wishful thinking, but here is my question. When you are diagnosed with mild aortic stenosis, does it ever just stay mild, never causes any trouble? What are the odds that it won't ever require surgery? Lisa

I got the results of my echocardiogram today, my doctor said it showed mild aortic stenosis. I have never had a problem like this before and it really is making me nervous. My doctor told me there is nothing to do right now, except keep an eye on things. He said that probably many years...
