A member asked:
Normal echo, but what does this mean, the aortic valve showed sclerodegenerative changes, the mitral valve sclerodegenerative changes?

Aging: Like everything in your body - your heart also ages and the valves tend to thicken and sclerose. Early sclerosis correlates with early heart attacks. To prevent worsening and early degeneration - don't smoke, control BP, eat healthy, keep your cholesterol down.
