I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
When the aortic valve opening is narrowed, your heart must work harder to pump enough blood into the aorta and to the rest of your body. The extra work of the heart can cause the left ventricle to thicken and enlarge.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
