Description Aortic stenosis occurs when the aortic valve, which separates the main pumping chamber of the heart from the circulation, becomes narrowed. This may reduce the flow of blood out of the ...

If validated prospectively, the findings could be ‘transformative’ for patients with no current medical options.

DAVID MONTGOMERY: Aortic stenosis is a tightening of one of the four major valves of the heart. The aortic valve is particularly important because the aortic valve is the gateway to the rest of ...

Auscultation of the heart in patients with aortic stenosis can be very helpful in both the diagnosis and determining the severity of disease. The typical murmur of aortic stenosis is a high ...

In asymptomatic patients with mild to moderate aortic stenosis, the survival is similar to age-matched controls. [1,16] The mainstay of medical treatment for these patients is simply appropriate ...

For the first time, researchers said SGLT2 inhibitors may have some disease-modifying potential for nonsevere aortic stenosis ...

Aortic stenosis is fairly uncommon among young people, though not absent. In younger folks, the disease is typically caused by a congenital heart condition. As we age, calcium deposits can build up ...

This multicenter study sheds more light on sex-based differences in aortic stenosis (AS) and argues the benefits of using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess sex-based risks in AS.

“But with aortic stenosis, the stiff valve does not open ... “So instead of that valve forming a nice tight seal when it closes, blood leaks back into the ventricle. So, some of the blood ...

In principle, the blood volume passing through a stenotic valve (aortic stenosis) is equal to the blood volume proximal to the stenosis or in the LVOT (Figure 4). The stroke volume is equal to ...

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is producing guidance on. Transcatheter heart valves for transcatheter aortic valve implantation to treat aortic stenosis. The Medical ...

The only effective treatment for aortic stenosis is removal of the mechanical obstruction. To this end, only aortic valve replacement (AVR) has been shown to achieve this while reducing mortality.
