In aortic valve stenosis, the valve is narrowed and doesn't open fully. This reduces or blocks blood flow from the heart to the aorta and to the rest of the body. Treatment of aortic stenosis depends on how severe the condition is. Treatment may include surgery to fix or replace the valve.

Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening and can sometimes be referred to as a failing heart valve. Aortic stenosis restricts the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta may also affect the pressure in the left atrium.

Aortic valve stenosis (or aortic stenosis) happens when the aortic valve in your heart is narrowed or blocked. This interferes with the normal blood flow out of your heart. It makes your heart work harder, causing heart damage, major health problems and even death.

Aortic stenosis is narrowing of the heart valve that allows blood to exit the heart to supply the body with blood and oxygen. Severe narrowing of this valve causes symptoms including exercise intolerance, chest pain, shortness of breath, and light-headedness.
