About Me (In My Own Words)
I'm 54 and found out about my BAV 30 years now, and having been monitoring it since. It seems the time has finally come for AVR and aorta replacement.
My aortic valve has both regurgitation and stenosis, and my aortic root (4.9-5.0 cm) and ascending aorta (4.6-4.8 cm) is dilated.
I've always been very active in sports including long distance running (previously weightlifting/bodybuilding), and am in an excellent shape and health otherwise.
