There is currently no way to stop calcification of the aortic valve. If all else fails, the valve must be replaced. To better understand the development of this common disease, researchers from Bochum ...

An aortic stenosis murmur is a sound the heart makes due to a narrowing of the aortic heart valve. Learn more about aortic stenosis murmur here.

THE primary purpose of this report is to emphasize the relation of a high-pitched "squeaking" or "musical" systolic murmur to aortic stenosis and calcification of the aortic valve. This is not so w ...

Aortic stenosis is a disease often diagnosed in its asymptomatic phase due to its distinct murmur and the widespread use of noninvasive imaging. The history, however, is still of paramount ...

People with aortic stenosis can have chest tightness and shortness of breath -- or no symptoms at all. WebMD explains the different ways this type of valve disease can affect your heart.

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, ...

In the EARLY TAVR trial, which informed the approval, patients with asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis were randomly assigned to either TAVR or watchful waiting. During a median follow-up of 3.8 ...

The classic murmur of aortic stenosis is a high-pitched, crescendo-decrescendo (diamond shaped), midsystolic murmur located at the aortic listening post and radiating toward the neck.

Ataciguat, a new drug being studied for aortic valve stenosis, shows promise in slowing disease progression and reducing the need for valve replacement surgeries.

In fact, age is the primary risk factor for the most common type of valvular heart disease. It’s called aortic stenosis, and it’s a narrowing of the aortic valve.
