Aortic stenosis is a heart condition in which the aortic valve, a crucial gate in the heart, narrows. Dr Suraj Narasimhan A, a Cardiology Consultant, Adult at Narayana Health City, Bommasandra, Bengaluru, specialises in diagnosing and treating conditions related to the heart's structure. Let's read what he explains in detail -

The Heart's Central Pump
The heart is composed of four chambers, with the left ventricle being the most important. It serves as the heart's main pump, propelling blood into the body's largest artery, the aorta, via a critical valve called the aortic valve.

The Role of the Aortic Valve
The aortic valve, essential from the womb to the final moments of life, opens and closes with each heartbeat. This relentless activity subjects the valve to inevitable wear and tear.

The Consequence of Wear on the Aortic Valve
Over time, the aortic valve may thicken and accumulate calcium deposits due to continuous wear, inflammation, and other factors. This accumulation can hinder the valve's ability to open and close efficiently, leading to aortic stenosis.

Understanding Aortic Stenosis
Aortic stenosis occurs when the aortic valve narrows, limiting blood flow from the left ventricle. This restriction can deprive the body of essential oxygenated blood, leading to various symptoms and affecting overall health.
