You have been healthy your whole life so I wouldn’t worry too much.
Do what you are comfortable doing.
I assume you have echocardiograms annually.
We are all different and some people manage well with moderate stenosis.
I was surprised myself that I got bad so fast.
Before the procedure to replace the valve I had cardiac catherization. They wanted to check my coronary arteries. All was fine.

I had read procedures and I would rather do the TAVR than the open heart surgery as my cardio just called and said we caught it early and nothing to worry bout as might stay the same or worsen with 5-10 years and I am 72 years old and don't take pain well and a worry wort lol
My appointment with him is 2/25 and I have further questions for him and also said it wont affect the quality of my life as I have a healthy heartrate, and bp and maintain a healthy weight and go for my yearly blood work and checkups and going to ask him if need to be done can i use the TAVR
