Hi, I am new and need your help. Let me start by explaining my situation. I had a mini stroke a few weeks ago, I have been through a bunch of tests, MRI, CTScan, ect. When they did the bubble test during the ECHO it showed a hole in my heart. So my Cardiologist wanted to see the hole up closer to see if it would require attention so he did a TransEsophageal Echo. After the test he told me that I don't have a hole but I do have BAV which he said probably had nothing to do with the mini stroke. So they found this looking for the hole, I have never had any of the symptoms related to this defect. I meet with my Cardiologist in a few weeks and haven't a clue what to ask him. Help. Also, do all people with this condition require surgery?
Oh and I am 48 years old if that has anything to do with anything.
Thank you in advance
