A member asked:
My mom was diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis by echocardiogram. will i get it ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aortic stenosis: The best answer is perhaps. Aortic stenosis is a thickening and calcification of the aortic valve, it can run in families or be due to rheumatic fever or a congenital abnormality of the valve. You should get regular check ups and if a murmur is heard then you should get an echocardiogram or an ultra sound of the heart.

I did an echocardiogram and the impression was possible bicuspid aortic valve with trace aortic regurgitation. Trace tricuspid regurgitation and pulmonic regurgitation. What does this mean ? I have severe chest pain, heart palpitations, and flutters?
