My father had a rheumatic fever in his teens. This triggered calcification of his aortic valve that eventually led to aortic stenosis. It was diagnosed two weeks before my wedding, in a different country. My parents missed the wedding but my father's done very well after the emergency valve replacement. Pay attention to small signals, and get checked out regularly. He was running risks that weren't necessary!
