That makes it harder for the leaflets to open and let blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. Aortic stenosis may be mild, moderate, or severe. It depends on how much of the blood is blocked.

Methods This was a post hoc analysis of 164 patients (median age 71 (IQR 66–77) years, 78% male) with aortic stenosis (41 mild, 89 moderate, 34 severe; 7% bicuspid) who underwent echocardiography and ...

Mild or moderate calcific aortic stenosis is likely to progress with increasing deposition of calcium on the aortic cusps. The rate of progression can be quite variable, with the occasional ...

The signs of aortic stenosis on physical exam include a systolic murmur, usually loudest at the right upper sternal border, that peaks late and radiates to the right carotid artery. [10] The ...

med.ulaval.ca To be aware of the prevalence, pathophysiology and outcomes of mixed aortic valve disease (MAVD), which refers to combined aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation. To assess the ...

Aortic stenosis, affecting nine million people globally, is often unnoticed as symptoms are mistaken for aging. This heart condition, common in elderly, restricts blood flow due to valve narrowing ...

Aortic stenosis (AS) was historically considered a disease of the left side of the heart, with the main pathophysiological impact being predominantly on the left ventricle (LV). However, progressive ...

The coexistence of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR‐CA) and aortic stenosis (AS) is increasingly recognized, but the clinical consequences are unclear. We aimed to characterize clinical ...

However, as with any claims‐based study, there are limitations in the granularity of clinical data available. Screening for transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR‐CA) in patients with severe aortic ...

Objective To compare long-term survival, reinterventions and risk factors using strict definitions of neonatal critical and non-critical valvular aortic stenosis (VAS). Design A nationwide ...
