Is Coconut Oil Good For Congenital Bicuspid Aortic Valve?
I have a congenital bicuspid aortic valve.Is coconut oil good for it?I also take flaxseed oil and is there anything that can help it and save myself from surgery later on. May I add that the regurgitation is minimal and I am 64years young and walk briskly every day for an hour.(female)

No medication has yet proven role in slowing the progression of stenosis of BAV.
There are individual studies which said Statin group of medication and omega 3 fatty acid ( flaxseed , cod fish oil) may help .
However at 64 years of age if there is no stenosis , I don't forsee any progression soon .
minimal regurgitation is inconsequential .
Coconut oil doesn't help rather it may increase your bad cholesterol and would be harmful in long run .
