As we age, we all worry about what the news doctor might deliver, especially about the heart. When your doctor hands you a terrible diagnosis, giving you the seemingly life-sealing fate of simply living with your “inoperable aortic valve” condition, it can seem like the end of the world. But, as Dr. Ciuffo has described in detail throughout his website, “inoperable” is typically more descriptive of the traditional heart surgery methods, rather than your heart’s ability to be operated on.
