Guide To The Risk Factors, Causes, And Complications Of Aortic Stenosis

Arrhythmias

If patients do not receive prompt treatment for aortic stenosis, they may develop various complications. One of the most common, of course, is an arrhythmia. Arrhythmias are heartbeat issues. Specifically, patients with arrhythmias will have hearts that beat too slowly, quickly, or is otherwise irregular. Individuals with aortic stenosis develop this complication because of improper blood flow through their heart. Unfortunately, arrhythmias also trigger other complications in aortic stenosis, including fainting when patients have insufficient blood flow to their brain. Arrhythmias are a particularly severe complication of aortic stenosis. This is because the mortality rate of the aortic stenosis patients with this complication is significantly increased when compared to the rate in patients without this complication.
