Aortic stenosis
Aortic stenosis is the abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve, which restricts the flow of blood from the ventricle into the aorta. Normally, blood carrying oxygen (oxygenated) enters the left upper chamber (atrium) of the heart.
Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve in the heart. This restricts blood flow through the valve. The heart then needs to contract harder to pump blood into the aorta. Mild narrowing may not cause symptoms.

Aortic Stenosis Definition
Definition
Aortic stenosis (AS) is a narrowing of the aortic valve in the heart. This valve is located between the left ventricle (lower pumping chamber) and the aorta. The aorta is the largest artery in the body.
Why is aortic stenosis a concern?
Mild aortic stenosis may not cause any symptoms. Several problems may occur, however, when aortic stenosis is moderate to severe, including the following: ...

Aortic stenosis is the obstruction of blood flow across the aortic valve. Aortic stenosis has several etiologies, including congenital (unicuspid or bicuspid valve), calcific (due to degenerative changes), and rheumatic.
Aortic stenosis (AS) is narrowing of the aortic valve obstructing blood flow from the left ventricle to the ascending aorta during systole.
Aortic stenosis may be present from birth (congenital), or it may develop later in life (acquired). Children with aortic stenosis may have other congenital conditions.
Aortic stenosis is the narrowing or obstruction of the heart's aortic valve, which prevents it from opening properly and blocks the flow of blood from the left lower chamber of the heart to the aorta. The aorta is the main artery leaving the heart.
Aortic stenosis
Dr Rob Hicks
When the aortic valve is too narrow, it causes an obstruction of blood flow, which is known as aortic stenosis.
Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aorta, the artery connected to the left ventricle of the heart, through which oxygenated blood flows to return to the body. The most common cause of aortic stenosis is congenital, present at birth.
Supravalvar aortic stenosis associated with elfin facies, mental retardation, and hypercalcaemia; usually sporadic; perhaps an irregular dominant trait.

aortic stenosis (AS)
In this condition, the aortic valve between the left ventricle and the aorta did not form properly and is narrowed, making it difficult for the heart to pump blood to the body.

Beta-blockers-A class of medication used to block the cellular response to chemicals normally present in the body.
Aortic Stenosis - Side effects
The MedicineNet physician editors ask:
What side effects did you have with your aortic stenosis?
Aortic stenosis: Narrowing (stenosis) of the heart valve between the left ventricle of the heart and the aorta. This narrowing impedes the delivery of blood through the aorta to the body.

When severe, aortic stenosis can reduce blood flow through the valve, and to the brain and the rest of the body. Treatment of syncope caused by aortic stenosis often includes aortic valve replacement surgery.
In the case of aortic stenosis, angina may occur because of a sudden drop in blood pressure resulting in an inadequate supply of oxygen to the heart muscle even where the coronary arteries are healthy.

Calcification of the aortic valve causes narrowing of the passage (aortic stenosis). Cancer refers to abnormal cells, which have a tendency to grow uncontrollably and metastasize or spread to other areas of the body.

Is minimally invasive surgery possible for removal of a sub-aortic stenosis?
The incision can be minimalized without requiring a full sternotomy thus making it minimally invasive; however, it would still require cardiopulmonary bypass.

Angina can also be caused by a narrowing around the valve in the largest vessel of your heart, called the aorta. This is a condition called aortic stenosis. Angina can also be caused by high blood pressure in arteries in your lungs.
