A bicuspid aortic valve is a congenital anomaly i.e. present at birth.
I hope that my experience will shed a light on what to expect when living with an aortic valvular defect. Never hesitate to ask whatever questions you may have and that worry you. It is unwise to remain in doubt. It is possible to live a normal life!
The patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a small opening between the 2 upper chambers of the heart, the right and left atriums. It is a hole in the atrial septum, a congenital defect known as an atrial septal defect (ASD). In other words, a heart formation abnormality present at birth. It is estimated that the malformation is present in nearly 25% of the population.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), known in earlier times as "ox heart disease", refers to a massive hypertrophy of the left ventricle of the heart. The thickening of the heart muscle is not secondary to any other existing disease.
My diagnosis was highlighted from the very first days of my life. I suddenly ran out of air due to a surge of transient blood pressure in my lungs and had be connected to a ventilator for 8 days because of respiratory distress.
