About Me (In My Own Words)
I do annually complete check out as used to do a lot of exercise (running, skying, hiking, swimming ) and as such growing up "older" tried to keep things under control. During last check up my cardiologist found something he was not able to detect clearly on my aortic valve, it seemed a leak so we had a transesophageal echocardiogram and it came out my aortic valve was bicuspid (they had not been able to see that before, don't ask me why:-)) , so he suggested I will have a CT angiography and it showed I also had an aneurysm in the descending part of the aorta. Not yet to be operated but to be closely monitored. And we here we are, in costant monitoring and evaluating if surgery should be anticipated before than the time when it will become an urgency matter.
