Thanks.... and I would not be where I am at without all of you and this wonderful place. Before I came here I didn't believe there was anything I could do... and yet here I am healthier and happier than I have been in practically all my life.

I also hope that my story and my journey will show others that there is hope, something can be done about it, and while we can't fix everything, you can make your life and future significantly better. Lastly never give up.... the Cubbies did it against all odds... we can do it too!!

Thinking of you RU442!

Ok honey. Not unexpected.
The thing is to look to the future and what you can do to prevent an event.
What is important for the next step is if there is critical stenosis. A stress echo will tell this. If it is positive then an interventional angio with a view to stenting anything critical will be recommended. If it is negative, an MR angio won't add any extra data. And either way you unfortunately need to most likely stay on the statin and aspirin. But the main thing is to look ahead positively. You are doing everything to prevent an event and can be very proud of your hard work.

{{{RU442}}} It's it's any comfort, we have other members with similar high scores that continue to do very well. You can't be doing anymore than you are, my friend. I'm beyond proud of you for all of the improvements you've made. Best of luck with your stress test on Friday. Please let us know the results. I suspect your heart is very strong since you made it though last night's game. Nail biter to the last second... Yay Cubs! XO

I know this must be hard news to receive, but as everyone has stated, you are doing all the right things. You are so impressive, RU, in attitude, self discipline, and wisdom. I am adding you to my prayer list.
