Rheumatic Aortic (Valve) Stenosis
Nonrheumatic AS: An Overview
About
Valve of the main artery (aorta) narrows and doesnt open properly.
Many people with aortic stenosis dont notice symptoms until the blood flow significantly reduces.
- Treatable by medical professionals
- Medically diagnosed
- Lab tests or imaging are always needed
- Chronic: lasts for years or for life
Nonrheumatic AS is caused by two conditions: calcium deposits on the valve, which is observed in elders; or when there are two instead of three cusps in the valve, which isnt reflected for a long time after birth. Both conditions stiffen the valve and the blood flow into arteries is restricted.
Ages affected - Most affected: age group 60+ years; Largely affected: 41-60 years; Moderately affected: 19-40 years; Least affected: 0-18 years
Symptoms
Medically diagnosable
Sometimes the symptoms might not be complained of, but a doctor must be consulted if the patients activities are declining.
People might experience:
- Breathlessness during exercises
- Chest pain with a feeling of tightness
- Syncope: dizziness, fainting during activities
- Palpitations: increased, pounding heartbeats
- Heart murmur: an abnormal heart sound (through stethoscope)
Treatments
Self-care: Eat a healthy diet, lose weight if youre obese, and quit smoking. Undertake regular physical activities and manage stress.
Medications: For blood pressure and abnormal heart rhythm, only help keeping heart healthy.
