How can alcohol affect someone who has been diagnosed with aortic valve stenosis?

Aortic valve: The valve opens to allow flow out of the heart to the body. If it doesn't open properly we call this stenosis. It has to close properly to keep blood flowing in a forward direction. If it doesn't we call this insufficiency. Either or both abnormalities can exist in the valve. Alcohol weakens the heart so is not beneficial with either.

Depends: How bad is the aortic stenosis and symptoms. How much alcohol! moderation in most things is a good approach.
