Rachel's Journal

Hey All - I'm Rae, I'm 45 and I'm coming up to my 3rd surgery.

I will be adding my full story soon.

But here's a quick insight:

Born with Aortic Stenosis.
Contracted Endocarditis when I was 20 which led to Aortic Valve Replacement.

That tissue valve lasted 10 years, and in 2010 I underwent my 2nd AVR surgery.

15 years on... I now have severe Aortic Stenosis, LBBB and an Aortic Aneurysm. They have put me forward for my 3rd surgery.

I'm a knowledgeable patient with a lot of cardiac experience and hopefully I can help others due for surgery or discovering their new diagnosis.
