Hello, i live in Colorado and i just got my most recent echo results. My cardiologist is the chief of cardiology here at the Colorado hospital. He tells me im many years away from surgery because of my bicuspid valve. But i see here mild dilated left ventricle. i know a lot of us here have experience with this. But should i get a second opinion, this worries me a lot, because I've understood that dilation of left ventricle is an indication for surgery. :( Aortic Root: 33mm Left Atrium: 32mm IVST: 9mm LVIDd: 54mm LVIDs: 37mm Aorta: Normal size. IMPRESSION: Normal left ventricular function mild dilated LV bicuspid valve: mild to moderate AI. Estimated 2D Ejection Fraction 55-60%
