I have aortic stenosis. My cardiologist suggests TAVR. However, before I can do this, my cardiologist says I need to exhibit chest pain.

Robert, I think that the doctor is telling you that the valve has not narrowed enough to be replaced. I think you should speak to that doctor and get some more information if they are not willing to talk to you, perhaps you should seek a second opinion. I am glad at this point that you are not in pain. Hugs🤗
