About Me (In My Own Words)
I was born with a bicuspid valve, I was followed by a cardiologist since birth. When I turned 18 the pediatric cardiologist stated I could be followed by an internist in my hometown and have an echo every year to monitor my condition. I was always told that eventually in life my aortic valve would need to be replaced , I was hoping it would be later then sooner. So 6 months ago started to experience some shortness of breath and dizziness while running and exercising. My physician ordered an echo and from there I was diagnosed with severe aortic stenosis .........so my journey began.
