Aortic stenosis is a condition where the valve that controls blood flow from the heart to the body becomes narrowed, making it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively. Over time, this puts extra strain on the heart and can lead to heart failure if untreated.
Symptoms include chest pressure, shortness of breath with activity, fatigue, or even fainting. In seniors, these symptoms are often dismissed as part of aging, but they may point to a serious valve issue that requires attention.
The best way to catch it early is through an echocardiogram or heart murmur evaluation. Valve replacement or repair can dramatically improve both lifespan and quality of life.
Don’t ignore signs of aortic stenosis. Book your evaluation today and be seen within 24–48 hours.
