Aortic valve scleros: Aortic valve sclerosis most commonly develops in older folks whose valve leaflets get calcium deposits as part of atherosclerosis. If it develops in younger individuals, usually another cause is implicated such as rheumatic fever (which is non-existent nowdays) or some valve infection (endocarditis). Also, don't forget inborn cases. Depending on the cause and severity of it, treatment is chosen.
