Hello,
Gradient around the valve is high so morbidity mortality is high. But few studies have shown 1 to 5 year survival rate were 83%, 74%, 53%, 42%, and 35%, respectively. Get a regular check up and an echo-cardiogram.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
