Medichecks and the way forward
A little ray of hope is that I have to see a cardiologist soon who within the NHS is monitoring my heart (
aortic
stenosis
but very mild) I will mention these and other results (high chol, trigly). Has anyone gained a referral to another consultant within the NHS?

What does my stenosis diagnosis really mean?
Sorry to be longwinded but if I don’t have
aortic
stenosis
and something less serious, I’d like to tell the insurance company as it may keep my premium lower than the £1,000 I’ve been quoted an annual worldwide policy. Thanks for all responses. Jane

Pre op exercise
It was discovered in the latter part of last year that I have moderate/severe
aortic
stenosis
possibly as a result of a bicuspid valve which I would have been born with. I’m under Kings and have waited 4 months to be discussed by a MD team. So, 4 months of inaction by me also.

Slipped through the net? Concerned.
I was diagnosed with severe
aortic
stenosis
- total shock - in November. I saw a cardiologist who referred me to a surgeon. I saw the surgeon on 2 January.

New to the group - trying to “get ready” for AVR!
I’m 57, live in SE England and need a new
aortic
valve sometime fairly soon due to BAV and
aortic
stenosis
which is now severe. I want to get fit, lose weight , find a great hospital/surgeon and generally do all I can to make sure I’m still here for the next 30 years.

Overwhelmed!
Bit of back story- I'm 22 with congenital
aortic
stenosis
and
aortic
regurgitation. I have had 2 operations to balloon the valve as a baby which has made it possible to prolong surgery up to now. Repairing my valve is unfortunately not an option so replacement is a must.

81 year old getting a transcatheter implant – how tough?
He is 81-years old, has been diagnosed with
Aortic
Valve
Stenosis
, and is in the queue to get a transcatheter implant in March. Even though it is less invasive than open-heart surgery, I worry that it will be very difficult for someone of his age to recover from this operation.

Travel Insurance with Aortic Stenosis
I had declared my
Aortic
Stenosis
and thought that it was going through only to have a message displayed saying they are unable to insure me at this time and that I should phone them. Most annoying. Has anyone obtained travel insurance with this condition? Would be grateful for any advice.

Advice
Hi, I'm 22 years old and was born with severe
aortic
stenosis
. After 2 operations to balloon the valve I still have moderate to servere
stenosis
and
aortic
regurtitation. I am due to have open heart surgery early next year to replace the valve.
