My friend's report says severe calcific aortic valve but no AR, mild MR, no PAH, and normal heart function. No clots or effusion either. Should they consider surgery or can they manage without it for now?
Your friend's situation is complex and requires a cardiologist's expert opinion. While having severe calcific aortic valve stenosis without aortic regurgitation (AR) and mild mitral regurgitation (MR) with normal heart function is a concerning scenario, it doesn't automatically necessitate immediate surgery. Mayo Clinic recommends that surgery for aortic stenosis, including replacement, is a key consideration, even if the patient is asymptomatic. However, the presence of mild MR and the lack of AR, PAH, clots, or effusion suggest a more complex situation that needs careful evaluation
