Suggest Treatment For Moderate Aortic Stenosis
My MD found a heart murmur recently & sent me for a echocardigram & it found I have moderate aortic stenosis. my doctor said that he will monitor me every 3 months. I am a little concerned because I did tell him I get short of breath when walking or cleaning, etc. I am 65 years old & my mother dropped dead at the age of 68. Should I make an appointment with a cardiologist?

avoid exerting yourself
please visit the cardiologist to know the exact grading of the aortic stenosis'either mild,moderate or severe
this can be evaluated by by the cardiologist
you may also require an angiogram to check out for the coronary arteries
your treatment really depends on all these factors
take care
