Ask the doctor. I am 78 years old and have diabetes and a heart murmur from narrowing of my aortic valve. My doctor tells me that the narrowing is not so severe that I need surgery, but warns me that I may need an operation some day. Naturally, I would like to avoid that possibility. Is there anything I can do to reduce the risk?
