About Me

I was told 3 yrs ago that I had a slight heart murmur. While undergoing my annual physical, my Dr., after listening to my chest, said, I want you to go get a treadmill stress test. Well, I flunked. That turned into a echo cardiogram, which showed a LAD blockage and a bicuspid aortic valve. I am a 60 yr, male, retired Law Enforcement from a major agency in Southern California and had no idea this could happen to me. I then, after 3 days, had an angiogram to confirm the above diagnosis. It is now Oct.19, 2010 and I am scheduled for surgery on Nov.11, 2010.
