Due to my ASD repair & MVR I made sure after my son was born that we had an echo performed asap. I was told that it "looked like" he had a bicuspid aortic valve, but they couldn't get the best look and to re-schedule an echo after 1 year, but that his heart was functioning fine.
So, last week he had his follow-up echo at 14 months and yesterday we received the news that he does have a bicuspid aortic valve. We heard from the nurse and won't be able to talk to the doctor about his echo until March 4th.
My question is, what questions do you suggest that I ask the pedi. cardiologist about his condition? I know I want to ask him if he has any type of aortic stenosis.. Is there anything else that anyone can think of that I ask specifically about his heart and the echo he had done?
