About Me

I am a 42 year old male that has been diagnosed with aortic insufficiency due to a functioning bicuspid. It was only found because I chose to get a physical and the doctor detected a murmur. I have no symptoms that I am aware of. After two echo-cardiograms and a heart cath, it was determined that a valve replacement is necessary. This was found only weeks before my wedding.
