Aorta Valve malfunction
by Jimmy T, Oct 02, 2007 10:31AM
I am told that my Aorta Valve is malfunctioning, and that the Aorta is swollen, I have high blood
presure that has been 220/120. I was told I have a coronary heart diease, also a heart murmmur.
Is the heart murmmur dued to the malfunctioning Aorta Valve, and why is it swollen? (Aorta region).
I have had this condition for 20 years and it is getting worst, what do I do now.

I am going to direct you to an excellent site that is primarily comprised of "valvers" & our experiences with valve surgery, etc. Go to it & start reading & communicating with some of the most awesome people from all over! Visit: www.ValveReplacement.com
Being a double valve transplant myself, aortic & mitral prosthetic valves, I can only advise you to get yourself a good cardiologist & request an ECHO, TEE & Heart Catherization if possible to give you a definite idea of what is going on with you. Best of luck & take care!
