About Me

I am a 59 year old male who was informed this year that my bicuspid aortic valve has gone from moderately leaking to severely leaking.I thought my Doctor was going to recommend surgery but after measuring my aorta a heart valve committed recommended that I wait for 4 to 6 month and than have a stress test to measure the blood flow. One year is almost passed since I was told that the regurgitation from my bicuspid aorta had progressed from moderate to severe. Now I have surgery scheduled for this Friday. Seems hard to believe.
