About Me

Hi, My name is Jim and I am currently 48 years old. I was diagnosed with a heart murmur when I was around 18 from an Aortic Insufficiency. In June of 2020 I had Ablation surgery because my heart would go into SVT quite frequently. Everything was good since then until this April when my heart started beating funny. I went to my Cardiologist and he had multiple tests done and they diagnosed me with a severely leaking Bicuspid Aortic Valve and an Aortic Aneurysm. I am now scheduled for OHS on 7/14/2022.
