Suggest Treatment For Aortic Stenosis

I am an active 69 years old and I ve recently been diagnosed with aortic stenosis, moderate. My EF is 35% to 40%. The problem have been there for over 2 years. Until recently I ve been riding my bike 60 plus miles a week, working out at the gym, etc. Is it best to have the valve replaced soon? I do not want to continue in the state I am experiencing.

Hi
Thank you for sharing with HCM
I read your query and understand your concern
Dear replacement is needed when stenosis is severe or the symptoms happens oftenly
If you will experience syncop or dispne oftenly replacement should be done
You should be aware that treatment can protect your valvule to stay at these stage for a long time
You should discuss with your doctor
If symptoms don't let you live a normal life replacement is needed
Wish you good health and fast recovery
