Happy New Year!

I again appreciate your response.  The doctors don't seem at all worried about this. 2 cardiologist didn't even know what this meant. I have been feeling better but still suffer horrible angina and shortness of breath with exertion.  Guess I'll keep taking nitro 20 times a day. Gotten used to the constant headache now.

Hi, from the report there appears to be aortic regurgitation. Echodense could mean there is fibrosis and calcification of the specific cusp of the valve involved. The commonest causes for calcification are diabetes, hypertension,  atherosclerosis and kidney disease. The treatment is aimed at the cause. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Regards.
