Is it possible to patient can have systolic murmur after aortic valve replacement on aortic area?
I had my aortic valve replacement (bovine valve) in February 2008. Recently I have been participating in a class for third-year medical students at Wright State University (Dayton, Ohio). They have access to listen to the hearts of several former or current heart patients -- for the most of them, this is the first time they have been able to hear the heart sounds on a real person (as opposed to computerized recordings. Although they are only third-year students, the majority of them say that they hear a systolic murmur. My cardiologist was the one who asked if I would participate in the class -- and with their diagnoses and his asking, I can only assume that a heart murmur after aortic valve replacement is common. Hope this helps.

There is no medical treatment that reverses the progress of aortic valve stenosis. Aortic valve replacement is the only solution to this problem. However, surgery is not always necessary.
