It is defined as narrowing of heart’s aortic valve. This narrowing keeps the valve from opening completely, which impedes blood flow out of the heart into the aorta going to the rest of the body. (LeMone & Bauldoff, 2014, p 1074).
The heart needs to work harder to pump more blood to the body due to obstruction in the aortic valve. In the long run, this extra work limits the amount of blood it can pump and may weaken the heart muscle. Replacement of valve may be suggested as a surgical therapy in cases where severe aortic valve stenosis noted. If left untreated, aortic valve stenosis may lead to serious heart problems (LeMone & Bauldoff, 2014, p. 1074).
