Aortic sclerosis is more common in the elderly population. Aortic sclerosis begins with the accumulation of calcium causing thickening of the aorta which in turn may result in a murmur.
Aortic valve sclerosis is the thickening and hardening of the aortic valve, while aortic valve stenosis is the narrowing of the valve opening. Sclerosis may not significantly affect heart function, but stenosis can restrict blood flow from the heart, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart failure.
Aortic dilation is the widening of the aorta. This widening could be an aortic aneurysm.

Aortic sclerosis, characterized by the thickening and stiffening of the aortic valve without significant obstruction, typically does not require aggressive treatment. Management focuses on controlling risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes through lifestyle changes and medications. Regular monitoring with echocardiograms is recommended to assess progression. If symptoms develop or significant valve obstruction occurs, surgical intervention, such as valve replacement, may be considered.
