Aortic stenosis is characterised by narrowing the aortic valve opening, obstructing blood flow from the heart to the body. It typically develops over time due to calcium deposits accumulating on the valve leaflets, causing them to stiffen and reduce flexibility. Let us hear Dr Bagirath Raghuraman, Senior Consultant, Cardiology, Adult and Program Director of Heart Transplant at Narayana Health City, Bommasandra, Bengaluru sharing insights on Aortic Stenosis and its symptoms.

Symptoms of Aortic Stenosis

Treatment of Aortic Stenosis
The management of Aortic Stenosis necessitates replacing the narrowed aortic valve, with modern surgical techniques, allowing for minimally invasive approaches. For cases ranging from moderate to severe, treatment options encompass surgical interventions such as aortic valve replacement.

This may involve traditional open-heart surgery or less invasive procedures like transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The selection of treatment is guided by various factors, including the patient's overall health, symptom severity, and the presence of other underlying health issues. This procedure offers hope for improved health and quality of life, especially in older people.
