Estenosis aórtica
Identifying aortic stenosis early on enables you to explore treatment options and make the best choice for your lifestyle.
What is Aortic Stenosis?
Aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most common and serious valve disease problems.
The heart pumps blood through the aortic valve to the body. Over time, calcium buildup can narrow the valve opening and restrict blood flow to the heart. If left undiagnosed or untreated in a timely fashion, it can become more severe and can ultimately lead to heart failure and death.
Good news! Identifying aortic stenosis earlier leads to longer, healthier lives.

Monitor Your Symptoms
It’s important to track your symptom progression to determine if it is getting better or worse. You may not experience noticeable symptoms until the narrowed valve greatly reduces blood flow.
Opciones de tratamiento
AS can be treated and managing it appropriately can reduce the negative impact on your quality of life. If you notice a decline in routine physical activities or significant fatigue, it’s worth a visit to your health care professional.
