God speed Michael! Question I’ve been diagnosed with the same thing but my doctors seem to keep wanting to wait because they don’t see enough physical signs like swelling of the ankles yet in seven months my Ejection Fraction keeps dropping and my Energy stinks. Can you share your numbers etc. I want to be aggressive and get this taken care of before my heart gets damaged. Prayers sent your way! You will do great and thank you for your military service🙏🏻

Michael Lundblad I was diagnosed over 10 years ago with an enlarged aortic root @ 4.4cm. No other symptoms until now. My BP was perfect, I was a runner for many years to overall I'm in great shape. Currently have irregular heartbeats and shortness of breath at minimal exertion. Dizziness comes and goes. My LVEF is normal between 54-57%. but the root of my aorta is 5cm with the ascending aorta also enlarged. Left ventricle is enlarged also. I don't know how the regurgitation is measured but the echo shows nearly half or more of the blood that goes out comes back in, hence the irregular heartbeat with premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). I'm headed to Charleston this afternoon for the surgery tomorrow morning so not able to reply again, but will come back online when I'm home at the end of the week. Praying for you too. God is able. I'm at peace. P.S. you're 58 so a mechanical non-invasive solution may be right for you if you act before age 70 where I am.

Vance Austin Thanks from reply Mike. I am still learning how to navigate this site. This is the first time I saw your response. Our EF are the same but I do not have any aortic root problems. I am seeing a surgeon Oct 1 for education and for him to read my test. My cardiologist is not referring me at this time. I just don’t feel the same over the last 10 months. I don’t want to make it worse before they do something. Get some rest and God speed Mike!

Michael, just read Tom.2.0 from Anaheim, CA. post and is right on. You both love the Lord and there is nothing like it. Trust the Lord with all your heart and he will get you through this surgery and bring you to the side of recovery. We will keep you in prayer and will look forward to hear from you as soon as you can post op. God bless you both
Michael Lundblad Thanks Tom and Ana! I was meditating in Psalm 23 this morning and am more at peace than ever before.
