About Me (In My Own Words)
I am 70 years old. I was diagnosed almost four years ago during a routine checkup and have been followed every six months with an echocardiogram. The area of my aortic valve opening is now .8 sq.cm and I am scheduled for aortic valve replacement and a maze procedure for atrial fibrillation at The Christ Hospital here in Cincinnati on Friday, February 7. My surgeon is Dr. Geoffrey Answini. I have opted for a mechanical valve - the On-x valve. I just want to get the surgery over with and start having more energy and be able to resume square dancing and exercise classes at the YMCA and traveling.
