What does it mean?

by sis182, May 07, 2008 07:16PM
I have just been informed that my aorta is badly calcified and there are white streaks in my lungs.  I have Pulmonary Hypertension (secondary).  The Doctor said it was serious but did not say how serious or what I should do.  It was my fault because I was stunned seeing the chest x-ray and the aorta.  Do you have an opinion?
Thanks in advance.


This discussion is related to Calcification of aorta and coronary arteries + low EF.
