2. Aortic stenosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_stenosis

   Aortic stenosis is most commonly caused by age-related progressive calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) (>50% of cases), with a mean age of 65 to 70 years. CAVD is the build-up of calcium on the cusps of the valve, and this calcification causes hardening and stenosis of the valve. [22]

3. Aortic valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve

   The aortic valve is a valve in the heart of humans and most other animals, located between the left ventricle and the aorta. It is one of the four valves of the heart and one of the two semilunar valves, the other being the pulmonary valve. The aortic valve normally has three cusps or leaflets, although in 1–2% of the population it is found ...

4. Valvular heart disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valvular_heart_disease

   Stenosis of the aortic valve is characterized by a thickening of the valvular annulus or leaflets that limits the ability of blood to be ejected from the left ventricle into the aorta. Stenosis is typically the result of valvular calcification but may be the result of a congenitally malformed bicuspid aortic valve. This defect is characterized ...

5. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertrophic_cardiomyopathy

   Up to 1 in 200 people [8] Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM, or HOCM when obstructive) is a condition in which muscle tissues of the heart become thickened without an obvious cause. [8] The parts of the heart most commonly affected are the interventricular septum and the ventricles. [10]

6. Bicuspid aortic valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicuspid_aortic_valve

   Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a form of heart disease in which two of the leaflets of the aortic valve fuse during development in the womb resulting in a two-leaflet (bicuspid) valve instead of the normal three-leaflet (tricuspid) valve. BAV is the most common cause of heart disease present at birth and affects approximately 1.3% of adults. [2]

   Another common HCM complication is heart failure, a broad term that means your heart isn’t able to pump enough blood out into your circulation to properly oxygenate the rest of your body. The ...
