Hi everyone! Not posted in quite a while but definitely guilty of occasional lurking! I had AVR in 1999 (congenital BAV) with a St Judes artificial...no issues since. Until now. My last echo last week evidently showed an aortic root dilatation of the ascending aorta . I have a CT this week for a closer look. Currently have no information regarding gradients etc. I am mostly asking at this point for information on what to possibly expect. From reading other posts most seem to be monitored without immediate action. For various reasons, this past year has been very stressful and I wonder if that plays into it ....numerous "fight or flight" situations or a facsimile thereof and large work related. Anyway, anyone have any experience or thoughts on what may come next? Will check back when I have more specifics. Thanks!:confused2:
