Aortic valve stenosis is one of the serious valve disease problems. This condition occurs when the aortic valve narrows down and it prevents the valve from opening completely. This prevents proper blood flow from the heart towards the inside of the main artery, aorta and rest of the body as it creates a blockage. To pump blood to the rest of the body the heart needs to work more due to the reduction in the flow of blood. And this process limits the actual amount of blood that can be pumped. This weakens the heart muscles. However, this condition can be treated, but it totally depends on the condition. To repair or replace the valve a surgical procedure might be required. It can lead to serious cardiovascular issues if the condition remains untreated. Also Read - 5 yoga poses you should avoid if you heart problems

Diagnosis:

Initially, a doctor tries to understand the signs and symptoms, they the doctor prescribe some medicines. At times, some of the following tests are required for diagnosis: ECG (Electrocardiogram), Cardiac CT Scan, Echocardiogram, Cardiac MRI, etc

Treatment Options:

Mild conditions may not require extensive treatment. However, to treat the condition effectively prescribed medicines and frequent follow-ups for routine check-ups along with a healthy lifestyle is important.

Note: Severe form of aortic stenosis can become life-threatening. At times, without showing any symptoms a patient live with this condition for several years. However, all of a sudden symptoms might appear drastically which might require immediate medical attention.
