Hello there

I understand your concern

As I understand she has mildly calcified aortic valve and she is mostly symptom free. Therefore there is nothing to be done actively at this moment. A serialised echo can be performed every year to keep a check on the deterioration. but mostly it will depend upon the symptoms.

Many able bodied people do also get breathless climbing 15 steps.

Hope I have been able to answer your query well
