@houston13 Thank so much for the info. I have received a cardiologist assessment date for end of July. You mentioned "intense exercise" to control anxiety... how do you know how intense to go?? I thought we were supposed to "take it easy" and not stress the heart..

@patti14 Good question, in my case my aneurysm is repaired and although I do get monitored in case others may appear my cardiologist has told me not to worry about HR, but BP. In my case exercise helps maintain my BP down and relaxes me, and I am convinced has helped me slow down the deterioration of the BAV.

The amount of exercise appropriate in your case you should discuss with your cardiologist, but I believe light to moderate cardio should be OK , reasonable increase in HR should not be an issue.
