I did not have any symptoms, the Dr. picked up a whistle sound when listening to my heart and sent me for an echocardiogram results showed a weak aortic valve. He said it's good that they caught it early before any damage to the heart muscle. Retirement is great but "gettin old" has it's issues. From what he says he thinks this can be done with a two inch incision - not open heart. Prayers will be appreciated.
Prayers sent. God bless.
