Aortic stenosis is a condition in which there is a narrowing of the opening of the aortic valve in the heart. This causes decreased blood flow from the heart. It can be a congenital heart defect, or it can occur later in life as the result of calcium deposit in this valve.

∙ 12y agoAortic valve stenosis is a disease in which the opening to the aortic valve is narrowed, keeping blood from pumping well and increasing pressure the left ventricle. It leads to the walls of the left ventricle thickening in order to continue to pump blood. Eventually the left ventricle can become dilated, reducing the ability of the heart to pump blood.
The most common cause is age-related calcification of the aortic valve.
The symptoms of aortic stenosis are initially shortness of breath and later chest pain, loss of consciousness or heart failure.

∙ 14y agosubaortic and subvalvuar aortic stenosis is same thing
Rarely present at birth, late onset may be due to the presence of ther congenital defects. Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) narrowing takes three forms:
1. A discrete fibrous membrane located within 1 cm of the aortic valve.
2.A thick muscular ridge of collar.
3.Diffuse narrowind of the entire LVOT.
Patients with subvalvular stenosis present with dilated and tortuos coronary vessels and have an increased risk of coronary artery disease due to increased LV pressures that are generated past the areas of stenosis

Can Aortic Valve Stenosis progress be reversed?
There is no medical treatment that reverses the progress of aortic valve stenosis. Aortic valve replacement is the only solution to this problem. However, surgery is not always necessary. Aortic valve stenosis can be monitored with echocardiography if surgery is not initially indicated. In addition, for patients who are not candidates for surgical valve replacement, there are percutaneous and catheter-based valve replacement procedures available.
When is aortic valve replacement necessary?
Aortic valve replacement is necessary when the aortic valve has become diseased. The aortic valve can suffer from insufficiency (inability to perform adequately) or stenosis.
What does Balloon valvuloplasty treat?
It is a treatment for aortic, mitral, and pulmonary stenosis
What is aortic valve stenosis?
A stenosed valve is a valve that has been narrowed for some reason; either by injury, scar tissue or congenital anomaly. Depending on the level of stenosis, cardiac output can be fixed (unable to be changed) and reduced.
