Basically diagnosed with Aortic Valve disease two years ago. My Aortic Valve was about 1.1CM in 2015, .9cm in 2016. My cardiologist says wait till I have symptoms before I get a valve replacement.
Right now I'm concentrating on losing weight and being healthy. Who knows maybe I can stop/reverse some of the calcification on my valve.
