Hello all. This is an excellent forum. I was diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve at the age of 43 (2years ago). Right after I got the diagnosis, I climbed Mt. Whitney with no problems. Recently, I have had no cardio stamina and my heart has gone into A-fib a couple times. I have met with two docs and they say it's about time to get the valve replaced. The valve opening is about .08-1.0 cm in diameter. I have been very active since about 18 years old. I used to lift real heavy weights up until recently (over 400 lbs bench). Does anyone know if lifting heavy over a long period of time increases stenosis? Thanks
