In aortic stenosis, the valve in a major blood artery branching off the heart, called the aorta, is narrowed. This prevents the valve from fully opening, limiting blood flow, making the heart work harder, and eventually weakening the heart. The main cause is the accumulation of calcium deposits in the valve, which increases with age.
Losing consciousness
History of heart murmur
Feeling breathless
Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose aortic stenosis
Have you currently regained consciousness after temporarily losing consciousness?
Have you ever been diagnosed with heart murmur?
Are you breathless or having hard time breathing?
Mild to moderate cases usually don't require treatment. Severe aortic stenosis requires surgery.
