What sort of problem is aortic stenosis?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Blockage: It is a blockage of the valve leading from the heart. This can result in heart failure and a decrease in the ability of the heart to output blood to the rest of the body due to blockage in the aorta.

Valve disease: Aortic stenosis is the inability of the aortic valve to open completely. The symptoms of aortic stenosis may resemble other medical conditions or heart problems.Acquired aortic stenosis may occur after a strep infection that progresses to rheumatic fever.
