  2. Aortic valve area calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_area_calculation

    In cardiology, aortic valve area calculation is an indirect method of determining the area of the aortic valve of the heart. The calculated aortic valve orifice area is currently one of the measures for evaluating the severity of aortic stenosis. A valve area of less than 1.0 cm 2 is considered to be severe aortic stenosis. [1] [2]

  3. Aortic stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_stenosis

    A decreased valvular area causes increased pressure gradient, and these parameters are used to classify and grade the aortic stenosis as mild, moderate or severe. The pressure gradient can be abnormally low in the presence of mitral stenosis , heart failure , co-existent aortic regurgitation and also ischaemic heart disease (disease related to ...

  4. Aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_replacement

    While x-ray and ECG might indicate aortic stenosis, echocardiography is the diagnostic procedure of choice. US findings also help in grading the severity of the disease. In cases of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, AVR is warranted. In cases of asymptomatic but severe aortic stenosis, more factors should be taken into consideration. [6]

  5. Aortic valve repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_repair

    Aortic valve repair may also be performed in the treatment of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection if either aneurysm or dissection involves the aorta close to the valve. [4] Indications for aortic valve repair: Absence of relevant calcification and; Congenital and severe aortic stenosis with symptoms or decreased left ventricular function

  6. Concentric hypertrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentric_hypertrophy

    In the heart, concentric hypertrophy is related to increased pressure overload of the heart, often due to hypertension and/or aortic stenosis. The consequence is a decrease in ventricular compliance and diastolic dysfunction, followed eventually by ventricular failure and systolic dysfunction. [citation needed]

  7. Valvular heart disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valvular_heart_disease

    In patients with non-severe asymptomatic aortic valve stenosis, increased age- and sex adjusted N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels alone and combined with a 50% or greater increase from baseline had been found associated with increased event rates of aortic valve stenosis related events (cardiovascular death, hospitalization with ...
