Aortic (valve) stenosis - what does this mean

Aortic stenosis is a condition caused by a narrowing of the aortic valve, which is the valve that connects the heart to the aorta and regulates the flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body. this narrowing can be caused by a buildup of calcium deposits on the valve leaflets, or by a congenital defect in the valve itself. as the valve becomes more narrow, the heart must work harder to push blood through, leading to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
