What is Aortic Valve Stenosis and symptoms/difficulties related to it?
Aortic stenosis is the narrowing of the exit of the left ventricle of the heart (where the aorta begins).With age, heart valves may accumulate calcium deposits. Very simply, aortic stenosis is a build-up of calcium deposits on the valve, which causes it to narrow and reduce blood flow to the rest of your body. It typically gets worse over time. Symptoms often come on gradually with a decreased ability to exercise often occurring first. If heart failure, loss of consciousness, or heart related chest pain occurs due to aortic stenosis, the outcomes are worse. Loss of consciousness typically occurs with standing or exercise.
