Hi All,
I posted as a newbie in the bi-cuspid valve forum. Quick run down, was diagnosed with BAV in my 20's and told not to worry about it. I have never seen a cardiologist but have had an echo. ordered by my primary dr. last year and this year. My brother died from an aneurysm in 2000 and was diagnosed in 1994 with marfan syndrome. I have never had anyone explain the echo. to me or suggest I be seen by a cardiologist. It seems I have offended the dr to suggest she refer me. I am no rocket scientist, but I see some change from this yrs echo compared to the last one, and I want to know what it means.. not "your good for another yr". Working hard to find some answers. I would appreicate anyone's suggestions or if anyone has had the same problems before.
