An aorta is the largest artery in the human body supplying clean, oxygenated blood to the entire circulatory system. Aortic valve stenosis is a condition where the aorta of the heart gets blocked. An experienced cardiologist can easily diagnose the disease either through clinical examination, sound wave heart imaging, CT angiography, or other diagnostic modalities.
1) Blood test
2) ECG
3) Echocardiogram
4) Heart Beat Monitoring
5) Stress Test
Medications can be prescribed to improve the heart’s ability to pump blood which may help compensate for a valve that isn’t working correctly.
But, a diseased heart valve being mechanical trouble, cannot be solved by way of medicine alone. Surgery is frequently required to fix the damaged valve. As soon as a conclusion is drawn that the diseased valve needs surgical treatment, valve repair or replacement are the only available options of treatment.
