About Me

I will have an Echo followed by a cardiologist visit January 11, 2024 to learn my surgical options and timelines. At my last visit 6 months ago, my aneurysm had rapidly expanded from 4.2 to 4.6 cm however the stenosis of aortic valve was still mild to moderate. This 'watchful waiting' has so far been the worst of it all.
