A member asked:

Hello, i was diagnosed with aortic stenosis at 45 yrs. o=old. is this common at this age?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Only if you were born with a bicuspid aortic valve. You should also inquire about your thoracic aortic root size as that is commonly involved as well and becomes aneurysmal.
