Aortic stenosis Aortic stenosis (AS) is narrowing of the aortic valve resulting in obstruction of blood flow from the left ventricle to the ascending aorta during systole.
Slide 3-

Aortic stenosis When the aortic valve is narrowed, the left ventricle has to work harder to pump a sufficient amount of blood into the aorta and onward to the rest of your body. This can cause the left ventricle to thicken and enlarge. Eventually the extra work of the heart can weaken the left ventricle and your heart overall, and it can ultimately lead to heart failure and other problems.
