Had an afib incident about 5 years ago that was discovered during a routine colonoscopy. Diagnosis showed the bicuspid valve but the stenosis was mild. Five years later it progressed to severe and the aorta has dilated well out of bounds as well. I was in Saudi Arabia the last 4 years. Good thing I was finished there and the severe stenosis happened here. I went from exercising hard on my bike to not being able to push a wheel barrow up hill without stopping during the last year. Better now at 57 rather than at 77 for this to happen.
