Another major cause of aortic stenosis is the calcification of a congenital bicuspid aortic valve or, more rarely, a congenital unicuspid aortic valve. Those with unicuspid aortic valves typically need intervention when very young, often as a newborn. While those with congenital bicuspid aortic valve make up 30-40% of those presenting during ...
The aortic valve is opened during systole, the driving force for it to open is the difference in pressure between the contracting left ventricle of the heart and the aorta. During cardiac diastole (when the heart chamber gets bigger) the aortic valve closes. [5] Aortic stenosis most commonly is the result of calcification of the cusps.
Calcification of the leaflets of the aortic valve is a common with increasing age, but the mechanism is likely to be more related to increased lipoprotein deposits and inflammation than the "wear and tear" of advance age. [17] Aortic stenosis due to calcification of tricuspid aortic valve with age [16] comprises >50% of the
The remaining 20% of causes are things like aortic dissection, aneurysms, and syphilis, all of which can ultimately lead to a widened the aortic root. Besides root dilation, regurgitation may happen due to valvular damage, from something like infective endocarditis, a bacterial infection of the inner lining of the heart, or again from chronic ...
More than 50% of patients with aortic valve stenosis have a congenital heart abnormality called a bicuspid aortic valve. The aortic valve is normally three leaflets but when it is bicuspid it is made of two. [6] This increases the risk for aortic stenosis due to increased stress on the leaflets, calcium deposition, turbulent blood flow, and ...
