12 month scan bicuspid valve and root dilation.

I’m delighted that my 12 month scan has shown my bicuspid valve is no worse and my root dilation that was 37mm twelve months ago is now 36mm so no change. Everything is very very mild so they are saying scan every 3 years. I’m over the moon.

That's fantastic. Must admit I'm anxious to have my first follow up scan in February. You must feel relieved.

That's great news! I have my 12 month check up in November to check the progress of my bicuspid valve and the leaking and narrowing hope it's as good as yours! 🥰

Thanks I hope so! I have severe aortic regurgitation and moderate stenosis so hopefully it's stayed the same 🤞🙃
