Aortic Stenosis

Aortic Stenosis is when the aortic valve becomes abnormally narrow, causing the blood flow to become restricted which forces the heart to work harder. Symptoms of the condition include breathlessness, fainting, heart palpitations, chest pains, and fatigue. The cause of Aortic Stenosis can stem from a variety of conditions including calcium deposits, valve abnormalities, congenital heart disease and rheumatic heart disease. Management strategies can include quitting smoking while treatment options may include homoeopathy, nutrition therapy, medication and surgery.
