Heart valve thickened

2017-07-05 13:46:06
My age is 55 and my Fair LV Systolic Function LVEF is 55%. I sometimes feel a bit of uneasiness. The echo report shows that my aortic valve is thickened. Do I have to carry out an angiography. I don't want to have an angiography. Is there an alternate way? Is my situation something to worry about?
