A member asked:

Doctor said i have a valvular heart disease so is this dangerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Depends on which valve and on what type of problem. Ask you doctor to clearly explain what type of valvular heart disease, what treatment may be needed and ask if you should see a cardiologist. If you don't get answers, see another doctor.

Bit concerned. Some doc said that earlobe creases are an 85% independent risk factor for heart disease. I have them. Also had normal NST in 2009&2013, normal angiogram in 2014. Should I worry? Any truth to this statistic?
