About Me

Diagnosed with Bicuspid Aortic Valve, Moderate Stenosis and slight Aortic Aneurism 5 years ago. (age 56) Stenosis has reached the severe stage this year. I'm still relatively symptom free, other than less endurance and general fatigue. Aneurism has remained at 4.1 cm since it was discovered. My cardiologist and the surgeon both agree that even though I'm still feeling pretty good, now is the best time to get this fixed, Before it gets any worse.
