Valvular Aortic Stenosis
Have 1st Class Medical -- 50yrs old. Annual non-faa physical revealed murmur, Sonogram revealed "mild valvular aortic stenosis."
valve area = 1.6 cm.
Peak/mean pressure 39/22mmHG.
Dimensionless index = .39
valve area = 1.8 cm^2
trace aortic regurgitation
aortic root sclerosis/calcification

.... so, now i have to let AME know... what should i expect? grounding followed by wearing a monitor and several months to get medical back?

Any M.D. interpretation greatly appreciated... kind of unusual this was found outside AME physical... so i have some time to report the issue, I assume... will have to look up regs regarding my responsibility...

THANKS!
