Warning Signs Of Aortic Stenosis

Shortness Of Breath

Individuals who have aortic stenosis tend to develop shortness of breath as a result of heart failure and the symptoms associated with it. Shortness of breath can happen due to diastolic dysfunction due to a patient's left ventricular hypertrophy. Ischemia in the coronary arteries can also produce shortness of breath in left ventricular hypertrophy patients. Another mechanism commonly associated with aortic valve stenosis precipitated heart failure is asymmetric interventricular septum hypertrophy. Asymmetric interventricular septum hypertrophy is a form of heart failure where the patient's septum becomes too thick towards the bottom left side and decreases the internal volume capacity of the left ventricle. The septum in the heart is the wall that separates the right chambers from the left chambers. This type of septal thickening results in reduced heart function that can cause shortness of breath.
