Good idea Dina. I am a bit concerned on why one report says prolapse and the other one doesn't I even asked this cardiologist about it and he said he didn't see it. SO yea in 6 mos I will try a different dr and see what that one says.

Thanks for your response :)

I am gonna wait the year right now only because there was minimal growth (thank goodness) between my echos that were 4 yrs apart

HI John Best Wishes

I just went through MRI's and CT Scans because suddenly my auras are becoming more frequent but my computer work has also become more frequent lol. Anyhow the neurologist didnt find anything except some unrelated issue with my TMJ and ear but that is another story for anotehr day. Supposedly I...

Al, thank you the cardio said i have to come back next year and if all goes well next year then i can go every 2 yrs. but liek you said..I much rather go every yr for my own peace of mind.

Actually Mary, I forgot to add.. the 2009 report states Mitral and Aortic Valve focally thickened..whatever that means lol

Hi Guys, I posted in another thread that I am new and I was waiting for the echo report so I can post my numbers. So here they are, please take a look and tell me what you think. One report is recent and one from 2005 so you can help me to determine my rate of progression. Echo Report done on...

Yes sorry, bicuspid aorta valve, iy is slightly stenosis and leaky. I was told yrs ago that I also had mitral prolpase but this new cardiologist swears he doesnt see that at all.

I will definitly start taking a further look, thank you. Well I just had an MRI and CT scan of my brain last month due to aura migraines adn all looked good so atleast I know I am not about to have a brain aneurysm..well at this point anyway lol. Thank you everyone for your quick answers.

Nope it isn't thank goodness. I can't wait til I can get you guys my numbers...before the week is out I wil have them.

Thank you! I live on Long Island but I am originally from NYC so I am very familiar with the area.

well i have many questions/fears lol but this one has been haunting me particularly since I have reading up on bicuspid aorta. I hae been reading that aorta dissection is 9x more likely to happen to ppl with bicuspid aorta. Now does that mean the sole sympton is just because you are bicuspid...

Wow I am also new here and have been lurking, your post describes me to the tee. I am 32 and was always told you have a heart murmur and I just went with it never bothered to really see what it was about until last month when I had my yearly echo. I said to myself let me see what all this is...
