So I am not sure what to think. A little back story, I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago with BAV. First report that gave valve size which was February of 12, showed valve was 1.4-1.6. Then in July of 12, valve was down to 1.1-1.2. That echo also showed ascending aneurysm of 4.1 as well. Had Cath, TEE, and MRI done in October, and doc said that valve is fine no stenosis at all, but aneurysm was somewhere between 3.9 and 4.2. Symptom wise for the last year I have had SOB and some palpitations. Doc said SOB was not related to heart. Anyways I know that echos can vary and are not 100% accurate. But how can my valve go from mild stenosis to almost on the verge of severe via echo, to no stenosis at all. That just sounds like too much of a change. I understand that Caths, TEEs and MRIs are more accurate, but it just doesn't make sense to me.
