Aortic Stenosis & Valve Replacement

I have been getting Echo's every 2 years for 20 years for a mild Aortic sclerious.
This report I had done last week says heavily calcified Aortic leaflets.
Moderate Aortic stenosis: peak velocity 3.1 m/s
dimensionless index 0.5
calculated AVA=1.50 cm
Doppler perimeters were not sufficient to analyze regurg volume
Doppler was incomplete for Diastolic flow
some trival and trace things shown in other valves.
My dx before was sclerious not it is stenosis and never have I seen anything about leaflets. All I am thinking is surgery and so afraid
I am a 77 year old female. with bradicardia.
2 months ago I had fluttering in my stomach, have IBS and was very gassy but checked my pulse and it was 143 went to the E R was admitted over night and monitored, was in sinus rythum and home in 24 hours on meds.

Hi, ill try and help but i had just the opposite problem before my transplant. I had fast heart beat or tacocardia. But i will say when ever i had any test result i was always able to talk to my doctor and get questions answered. The only part i kinda recognize is calcium deposit in the aeorta. During my transplant the surgeon noted in his report that he found calcium deposits in my aeorta but found enough soft areas to clamp off during the transplant. I asked my regular cardiologist recently about it and he said don't worry about it that's pretty common as we get older btw im 60. I hope i helped. Good luck
What exactly do you want to know? I am 67 and have had an aortic valve replacement and then a TAVR in the replacement.
