I have had A-fib for about 13 years now. I was born with a heart murmur, which was never really an issue.
About 7 years ago an echo revealed a thickening of the artery which leads out of the heart. (Aortic) I think someone here told me it was related to Sjogren's. So I'm wondering.
So today, my cardiologist could hear the heart murmur, which she says is either a sticky valve or a leaky valve. Oh great. Usually no doctors could ever hear it unless I was lying prone.
I will get another echo in about a month.
Any feedback or info??
