Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve which is the valve between the left ventricle and the aorta. The aortic valve controls the flow of blood between the left ventricle and the aorta. If it is narrowed, the flow of blood is reduced. This can cause various complications which are listed below.
Mild aortic stenos often does not cause any symptoms. The symptoms associated with more severe aortic stenosis may include: 1. Chest pain (angina)or tightness with activity. 2. Feeling faint or dizzy. 3. Shortness of breath, especially with activity. 4. Tiredness. 5. Heart failuresymptoms, such as shortness of breath or swelling of the legs.
The most common cause of aortic stenosis is "atherosclerosis". This is a condition where there is a build up of calcium, fats and other deposits on the walls of the arteries. This becomes much more common with age and is also associated with high cholesterol or diabetes. Some types of congenital heart disease (abnormalities of the heart present at ...
Aortic stenosis progression is very difficult to predict. The majority of people with mild aortic stenosis will never progress to developing clinically significant aortic stenosis. However, they may be offered a scan every three to five years to assess their valve. Moderate and severe aortic stenosis usually does progress and cause symptoms. Again ...
Aortic stenosis is often diagnosed before people have any symptoms. This may be because they are having an echocardiogram(an ultrasound scan of the heart) for another reason. Sometimes a heart murmur is heard whilst examining the heart and an echocardiogram is organised to determine the diagnosis. Sometimes, the symptoms of aortic stenosis lead to ...
If the narrowing (stenosis) is mild then usually no treatment is needed. There are no medications which slow down the progression of aortic stenosis or treat the aortic stenosis itself. Surgery is usually advised when symptoms develop. Studies have shown that, once symptoms develop, the average survival is two to three years without surgical interv...
Aortic stenosis can lead to a thickening of the muscle in the left ventricle because the left ventricle is working very hard to try and pump blood through the narrowed valve. This leads to heart failurewhich can cause fluid to build up in the lungs (causing shortness of breath) and the legs (causing swelling/oedema). This is the most common complic...
Many cases are mild and cause no symptoms. Symptoms tend to become worse over the years and, although medication may ease symptoms, they cannot reverse a narrowed (stenosed) valve. Surgery is usually advised for anyone with symptoms but referral for consideration of surgery is now advised for anyone with moderate or severe aortic stenosis, even if ...
