I found the statement below at the following link:
http://bicuspidfoundation.com/Bicuspid_Aortic_Valve_Disease.html
"...When the blood pressure is naturally low in the presence of bicuspid aortic valve leakage and an enlarged aorta, it usually indicates more fragile aortic tissue. However, these individuals may still use smaller doses of blood pressure medication."
I found this matter of fact statement to be quite a reach. I can understand the rationale/logic: if your artery isn't under the extra pounding of high blood pressure and you still have a stretched aorta, then the tissue must be extra fragile.
a) Were you all aware of this and in agreement?
b) Have any of you seen any science to back up this statement?
c) For those of us with this combination, what other surprises can we expect?
For instance, I wouldn't want to be on blood thinners if I were more prone to aneurysms.
