Hello everyone! I'm new to the blog but thank God for places like this and people like you. I found out in May 2017 that I had moderate to severe Aortic Stenosis. Since I am asymptomatic, I have the choice of waiting and monitoring or just getting my valve replaced. I decided to just go ahead and have it replaced. After having a second opinion and all the tests, I have an appointment with a Cardiac surgeon this Thursday at 8am to discuss my options. This is all wild and crazy for me as I've been healthy all my life, worked out...you name it. But, age catches up with all of us I guess and I'm no exception. I would really appreciate any advice on types of valves, procedures, and the factors that attributed to your choices. Thank you😊
