Is it safe to use ventolin and nitroglycerin pump to relieve symptoms of aortic valve stenosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Aortic stenosis: Nitroglycerin is dangerous to use with severe or critical aortic stenosis as it can cause a drop in blood pressure for which the heart cannot compensate due to the obstruction to outflow of the heart through the obstructed aortic valve.
