When a patient develops severe aortic stenosis, this is most often when they develop symptoms. The first one is chest discomfort. Second is shortness of breath. The third is fainting or feeling faint.

Auscultation of the heart in patients with aortic stenosis can be very helpful in both the diagnosis and determining the severity of disease. The typical murmur of aortic stenosis is a high ...

Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is a significant health concern ... The condition typically progresses over time, with symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath and fatigue affecting people ...

As people age, a buildup of calcium on the aortic valve can make it thicker and stiffer leading to aortic stenosis.

The implantation of the new valve is done without the need to open the heart completely, thereby drastically reducing the ...

The purpose of this paper is to document 3 established examples of the Graham-Steell murmur, to re-emphasize the point that all regurgitant diastolic murmurs in mitral stenosis are not aortic in ...

Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is a significant health concern ... The condition typically progresses over time, with symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath and fatigue affecting people ...

In patients with aortic stenosis and a small aortic annulus, results showed comparable composite outcome of mortality, disabling stroke, and heart failure hospitalization, and continued superior ...

This research could influence future clinical guidelines, improving the way severe aortic stenosis is assessed and ultimately leading to better patient outcomes. The study was conducted by the ...

The chest radiography may reveal a normal cardiac size since the hypertrophy in aortic stenosis is concentric. However, once LV systolic failure occurs, cardiomegaly will be seen. Calcification of ...
