If you're ever told you need a new heart valve, and that the only way to do it is by sawing apart and prying open your ribs, your surgeon is likely to give you a choice... Would you like a biologic or mechanical valve? That's the one decision, in all likelihood, you'll have to make.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt (pun intended) and personal experiences with your own heart and EW devices. Even if no one buys the shares based on your experience and opinion, my guess is that some readers will make a long overdue appointment for a physical exam. You may even have saved a life or three.
I agree completely with Sam Fawaz - and I’m adding my “thanks so much for sharing”! Also, I’m adding you, and all with similar needs, to my daily prayer list.
Thanks Hank Great analysis of the stock and its prospects and risk. As well I have a dilated aorta that has recently expanded and has my cardiologist concerned. Your article gives me hope that I face a healthy journey in the future.
Dilated can stay that way for years before it's surgical. Depends on the size. At major med centers 5.0 cm is surgical. I'd get two opinions and do whatever the protocol is for monitoring it. Also, surgeons and cardiologists and radiologists often measure things differently. The surgeon is the one whose measurements count. The good news: You found it before it found you!!!

Sam, that was the subtle undertone of this. Glad you picked it up. If this helps just one person it will be a success. Thanks!
