Aortic stenosis (AS) is an obstruction of blood flow from the left ventricle into the aorta due to narrowing at the level of the aortic valve. In Europe, it is the most common valvular disease requiring treatment and is the second most frequent cause for cardiac surgery. By the age of 80, it occurs in almost 10% of adults and has a mortality rate of about 50% at 2 years unless the outflow obstruction is relieved. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at the aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, treatment options and prognosis associated with this common condition usually seen in our elderly patients.
