Experiences with

Aortic stenosis

My breathing over the past two years has got increasingly laboured on gradients, following all sorts of tests an Echocardiogram has located Aortic Stenosis, and it’s severe. Just waiting for specialist to confirm, but it looks like major surgery, my worst nightmare.

Hi can you have bariatric surgery with aortic stenosis?

just diagnosed with mild aortic stenosis. male, late 50s, otherwise healthy. seeking reassurance from others who have had similar experience as quite worried.

Hi all, I have been diagnosed with severe bicuspid aortic stenosis, and I will be having 'the Ross procedure ' in the new year. Would love to hear of others experience with this. Many thanks and good health 🙏

I have Aortic Stenosis... Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks. Dianne.

Letter received from Cardiologist saying that:- " I had a repeat echocardiogram which shows worsening of the aortic stenosis with a peak gradient of 66mm\Hg although the valve area comes out at 1.2cm. The Physiologists commented that the symptoms are getting worse .

I was told in August that my Aortic Stenosis has become severe and I've been referred fir surgery. Would like to hear from anyone who has had valve replacement surgery.

I have Aortic stenosis and have had 2 echocardiograms to monitor it. On my last scan, they could not decide to see me again in 12 months or 24, so they opted for 18 months. Im posting today to ask about people's experiences on having regular monitoring and how that progresses to eventual treatment.

Hiya my son whose 30 with severe aortic stenosis went to hospital with pains in chest , shoulder and back high blood pressure . They kept him in all night then said his ecg had gone from 23 to 22 ( what does that mean ) and sent him home .

I have been diagnosed with aortic stenosis, and came into hospital yesterday unable to breath and coughing up blood . Fluid in the lung which has been removed . Kept in . Recently found to have low HB and diagnosed as being anemic .

I have a mild aortic stenosis that is also lurking in the background....... :(

Born with aortic stenosis bicuspic value, and as many others, was told surgery is inevitable. However, I wasn't expecting this to occur at 34 years of age. My wife is also expecting with our first child, due in Jan2022. Condition has been deemed severe, moving from moderate.

Hiya my 30 year old son has decided on a tissue valve instead of the Ross procedure and was told there's a newer valve that lasts longer and can be done less invasively, he has severe aortic stenosis .

My beautiful boy was born with Aortic stenosis. He’s had to valvuloplasties one when he was 12 and the other when he was 16. The latter left his valve leaking but he’s been ok. Now he’s 34 and we have just heard he has to have the valve replaced with an onyx mechanical valve.

I have aortic stenosis and a parachute mitral valve ("the structure of my heart is not normal" in the words of my EP) which we think is the reason for the ablations not working (the ablations may have worked, but the valves are messing up the electrics). So we are working out what to do next.

I thought it useful to raise awareness of these findings for some of our members. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/972850

Hi Hearties I posted last week to say I was awaiting TAVI procedure I had the procedure yesterday and was home before 7pm last night as everything went brilliantly. I'm a little uncomfortable in groin where they gained access to insert the new valve and feeling quite tired but for next few weeks i will

Bicuspid valve now with severe aortic stenosis. Worried sick... surgery cancelled 🤢

Hi Hearties hope you are all well I am 30 years on from my first heart attacks and coronary artery bypass surgery, then in 2004 another heart attack followed by 2 stents fitted. 4 years ago aortic stenosis was picked up and has now become severe the plan was to fit a mechanical valve but following
