Brief Answer:
Please refer to the detailed answer below

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

The overall eco-report is normal except for some mild age related changes like mild calcific AS with mild AR. The rate of progression of AS to a significant level where it can cause you trouble at this age group is very slow so there is nothing to worry about it. However it’s advisable to keep reviewing echo yearly to track its progression.

Also, as you are currently taking statins that will also slow the rate of its progression.

Now as you are already maintaining healthy lifestyle routine which is a good thing there is nothing much to be concerned for. Just sit back, relax and enjoy your life.

I hope this information will relieve your worries. Feel free to ask if you have any other doubts.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
