2006 diagnosed with a bicuspid aortic valve but no stenosis evident. 2013 retested--stenosis was moderate bordering on severe, 2014 had progressed to severe. March 2015 had felt like I was getting a cold for 5 days but no cold developed. Was advised to be checked out at emerg. Test results indicated I was having a heart attack and was transported by ambulance to the another Hospital that specializes in Heart-related issues. 9 days later I had open Heart Surgery
