is aortic stenosis considered a heart disease?

What is aortic valve stenosis? Aortic stenosis is one of the most common and serious valve disease problems. Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening. Aortic stenosis restricts the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta and may also affect the pressure in the left atrium.

Hypertension is a risk factor for aortic stenosis (7,10,11) and is associated with progression of aortic stenosis (7). Hypertension is also associated with aortic valve calcification (10-13).

Coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is when your coronary arteries become narrowed by a build-up of fatty material within their walls. These arteries supply your heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood. CHD is sometimes called ischaemic heart disease.

Introduction. Aortic stenosis (AS) occurs when the orifice of the aortic valve is significantly reduced due to the failure of the aortic valve leaflets to open fully during systole. This causes an effective increase in afterload, left ventricular hypertrophy and, eventually, symptoms of congestive heart failure.

Cardiovascular disease therefore includes all the heart conditions, but also covers high blood pressure and narrowing of arteries supplying blood to other body parts and organs. However, most often the term cardiovascular disease refers to the consequences of atherosclerosis, also known as hardening of the arteries.

Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) is a relatively common disorder. Historically, it has been referred to as idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. HOCM is a significant cause of sudden cardiac death in young people, including well-trained athletes, affecting men and women equally across all races.

Heart valve stenosis is also linked to a higher risk for atrial fibrillation. For example, mitral valve stenosis results in an obstruction to blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle causing the pressure to increase in the left atrium. As a result, the heart enlarges, and atrial fibrillation can occur.

Narrowing Aortic Valve Can Be Treated Without Open Heart Surgery. Narrowing of the aortic valve, called aortic stenosis, is a common and serious heart valve problem. Without treatment, it has a prognosis worse than most cancers. Once symptoms occur, they continue to worsen and few sufferers are alive in five years.

Bicuspid aortic valve is a type of abnormality in the aortic valve in the heart. In bicuspid aortic valve, the valve has only 2 small parts (leaflets), instead of the normal 3. This condition can be present from birth (congenital).

Aortic valve calcification is a condition in which calcium deposits form on the aortic valve in the heart. These deposits can cause narrowing at the opening of the aortic valve. This narrowing can become severe enough to reduce blood flow through the aortic valve — a condition called aortic valve stenosis.

A heart murmur isn't a disease — but murmurs may indicate an underlying heart problem. Often, heart murmurs are harmless (innocent) and don't need treatment. Some heart murmurs may require follow-up tests to be sure the murmur isn't caused by a serious underlying heart condition.

Aortic valve stenosis is the most common form of valvular heart disease in the elderly population and frequently occurs in conjunction with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Aortic valve stenosis is the most common form of valvular heart disease in the elderly population and occurs frequently in conjunction with coronary artery disease. The standard treatment option for patients with these two conditions has been surgical aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting.

Coronary artery disease is the most common form of heart disease and the most common cause of heart failure. The disease results from the buildup of fatty deposits (plaque) in your arteries, which reduce blood flow and can lead to heart attack. High blood pressure (hypertension).

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels. CVD includes coronary artery diseases (CAD) such as angina and myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack).

Nitrates are contraindicated due to their potential to cause profound hypotension in aortic stenosis. Any hypertension is treated aggressively, but caution must be taken in administering beta-blockers.
