A member asked:
Any advice? what tests are used to detect aortic stenosis, and when are they prescribed?

Echocardiogram: Aortic stenosis can be accurately diagnosed and the severity determined with a reasonable amount of accuracy by echocardiography. The most typical reason to order an echocardiogram, looking for aortic stenosis, would be detection of an abnormal sounding heart murmur.

Echocardiogram: The easiest test is an echocardiogram, which is non- invasive and simple to repeat. It is recommended when a murmur is heard during a routine physical examination.
