Just got my echocardiogram result as an e-mail. It's not good. I have severe aortic stenosis. Through my own research, I learned that average life expectancy for people with that condition is three years if it is untreated. Average aortic valve size is 3-4 cm². Mine is 0.5 cm². As my wife put it, that means my blood is being pumped through a straw instead of a hose. And the report says there is some sort of heart enlargement, but it sounds like it might be limited.

I haven't heard from a cardiologiest, but I'm sure I will soon.
