    What is aortic stenosis?

    Aortic valve stenosis is a medical condition characterized by the narrowing of the aortic valve opening, which restricts blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. This can lead to increased pressure in the heart and reduced oxygen supply to the body. Aortic valve stenosis can be congenital or develop over time due to factors such as aging, calcium deposits, or scarring.
