Absence or low individual and public risk
Congenital stenosis of aortic valve - what does this mean
Congenital stenosis of aortic valve is a condition in which the aortic valve is abnormally narrow, preventing it from opening fully and causing a decrease in blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. it is usually caused by a defect in the development of the valve in the womb.
What happens during the disease - congenital stenosis of aortic valve
Congenital stenosis of the aortic valve is a condition in which the aortic valve does not open fully, resulting in a decrease in blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. this leads to an increase in pressure in the left ventricle which, over time, can lead to left ventricular hypertrophy, myocardial ischemia, and heart failure. in addition, the decreased blood flow to the aorta can also lead to an increased risk of aortic regurgitation, stroke, and arrhythmias.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the obstruction of the aortic valve.
- Medication: Aspirin, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, diuretics
- Surgery: Aortic valve replacement or repair
- Angioplasty: Balloon dilation of the aortic valve
- Catheterization: Insertion of a stent to keep the valve open
- Lifestyle modifications: Regular exercise, healthy diet, stress reduction
18 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Congenital stenosis of aortic valve - Prevention
The best way to prevent congenital stenosis of the aortic valve is to ensure that pregnant women receive regular prenatal care, including appropriate screenings such as echocardiograms. additionally, avoiding environmental toxins, exercising regularly, and eating a balanced diet can also help reduce the risk of this condition.
