Howdy all!
I am blessed that my Family Physician did a routine EKG about a month ago which started a chain of medical tests and procedures which are far from over. He discovered a left bundle branch block.
I am in the hands of one of the best cardiologists in my area who will be referring me to one of the best surgeons in the country near the city where I live.
I was born with a bicuspid aortic valve.
It is severely thickened and calcified.
Just found out about this.
My left ventricle is somewhat enlarged.
My ascending aorta is dilated 4.5 cm.......
Next up is a heart catherization and a trans-espochegeal-echocardiogram. on December 4th.
Many reasons for optimism, my blood pressure is consistently good and my health is good.
I am asymptomatic with the heart issues.....no pain...all good!
Surgery will be sometime after New Years. AVR and AR.
Just looking to learn about experiences of those who are going through preparations for surgery and post surgery experiences.
