Aortic valve stenosis is one of the most severe and prevalent problems associated with valve disease. The aortic valve opening narrows in aortic stenosis. Aortic stenosis limits blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta and may impact left atrial pressure.
Although some individuals have aortic stenosis due to a congenital heart defect called a bicuspid aortic valve, this condition more frequently manifests as aging progresses, and calcium or scarring damages the valve, reducing the amount of blood that can pass through.
The illness known as aortic stenosis causes a narrowing of the valve between the left ventricle and the aorta. The chamber that usually pumps blood through the aortic valve to the entire body is the left ventricle. Aortic stenosis is the term used to describe the narrowing of the aortic valve, which can occur due to infection or age-related degeneration. This is an illness that typically affects people over the age of 50.
Because the left ventricle must work harder to pump blood through the restricted valve opening into the aorta, in addition to the symptoms of aortic stenosis that may make a patient feel faint, weak, or lazy, the wall of the ventricle may also display muscular thickening.
There is less room for adequate blood supply to the body because of the thickened wall's increased space-consuming nature inside the lower heart chamber. The result could be heart failure. The progression of this disease may be slowed or reversed with the help of appropriate treatment.
What side might effects does aortic stenosis cause?
● Block Heart Endocarditis
● Reflux of the mitral valve
● Regurgitation of the aorta
