Rheumatic aortic stenosis - what does this mean
Rheumatic aortic stenosis is a condition caused by rheumatic fever, which is an inflammatory response to a streptococcal infection. it results in damage to the aortic valve, leading to narrowing of the valve opening and a decrease in the amount of blood that can flow through it, leading to increased pressure in the left ventricle of the heart.
What happens during the disease - rheumatic aortic stenosis
Rheumatic aortic stenosis is a condition caused by long-term inflammation of the aortic valve due to a previous infection with a strain of streptococcal bacteria. this inflammation causes the aortic valve to become thickened and narrowed, preventing it from opening properly and resulting in a decrease in blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. this can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
