I was in the garage talking to my dad, & he was saying one of his cousins has a heart problem. I also found his aunt has it, my aunt has it. It’s hereditary. 

It’s medical term is bicuspid aortic valve , he is going for testing in month too see if he has it. I’m also going to get a test too. If my dad has it, there is strong chance that I might.

My FiL has that. Now in his 60s, he has a replacement valve that ticks audibly when you stand next to him.

Just thought I’d point out that the open tri-leaflet valve looks like a Wankel.

My oldest brother just went through the procedure for this this past summer. He opted for the mechanical valve.

I gotta get checked for it one of these days myself. Fun stuff....
