So the heart pumps blood through the aortic valve to all the cells in the body. When aortic stenosis occurs, there is a tightening and oftentimes calcification of the aortic valve and that leads ...

When the heart rate increases in response to ... cardiomegaly will be seen. Calcification of the aortic valve, pulmonary congestion, and post-stenotic dilation of the aorta are other non-specific ...

There is a dropout of atrial pacemaker cells resulting in a decrease in intrinsic heart rate. With fibrosis of the cardiac skeleton there is calcification at the base of the aortic valve and ...

However, once LV systolic failure occurs, cardiomegaly will be seen. Calcification of the aortic valve, pulmonary congestion and post-stenotic dilation of the aorta are other non-specific findings.

Patients with low-gradient aortic stenosis and reduced LVEF, compared with patients with high-gradient aortic stenosis, have worse clinical outcomes.
