Aortic stenosis

by Juditka, Oct 11, 2007 11:17AM
Quite a while ago I was diagnosed with heart murmur caused by aortic stonosis. I had no symptoms until now. (passing out) I had a heart catheteriztion yesterday, no blockages, but the stenosis was comfirmed. I have an apoointemnt with the surgeon next Friday the 19th. At that time I'm sure he will give me all the details. Could I get some opinions from peole who had aortic valve change? I am a little anxious and worried. This waiting is getting to me. Thanks. J

You'll be fine.  I had the same thing happen in 2001.  My valve was repaired in 1967 and when I turned 43 it failed.  I had a homograft replacment and currently run 3 miles every other day with no problem.

Good luck and keep us posted.  It is very scary when you're going through it.
