QDM,

Many thanks for your info/advice. Basically the chap didn't tell me what valve was leaking, I picked up the tricuspid bit from a conversation he was having with the nurse doing the echo.

Also, he didn't even mention LVH and didn't advise whether the valve issue would be a problem for the CAA, merely stating 'they have their own criteria for this'!

The only firm advice I got was make sure I told the dentist and to go and see my GP when I get the report from him, which I fully intend to do!

Many thanks

BTW, I was a bit concerned so asked if I should leave off the gym (I go 4 times a week), he said 'no that's fine, carry on as you are' so I'm wondering how serious this is!
