Disclosures • No relevant disclosures • Consulting, 2009-present • Boston Clinical Research Institute • Roche • Novo Nordisk • Astellas Pharmaceuticals • Amarin • Pfizer • Gilead • Microport • Significant investment, Orchestra BioMed • Maker of drug-eluting balloon and novel pacemaker technology
Normal valve function • Designed to prevent the backflow of blood • Two anatomic types in the heart • Atrioventricular – mitral and tricuspid • Usually have two leaflets • Because pressure in downstream chamber changes dramatically during systole, require papillary muscles to tether them shut • Semilunar – aortic and tricuspid • Usually have three leaflets
Aortic stenosis • Age-related calcification of the aortic valve leaflets • Accelerated in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve
Prevalence of aortic stenosis 16.5 Million People in US Over the Age of 652 • Estimated to be present in up to 7% of the US population over 65 years • More likely to affect men than women • 80% of patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis are male Percentage Diagnosed with Aortic Stenosis
Physical exam • Murmur • Crescendo-decrescendo • Heard best at the base (RUSB) • Radiates to clavicle and/or carotid • Loss of S2 • Pulsus parvus et tardus • Signs of congestive heart failure
Symptoms of aortic stenosis • Symptoms arise from and increase in LV wall stress, followed by an increase in LV size and decreased cardiac output • Angina • Dyspnea • Syncope

Diagnosis • Echocardiography • Measure velocity of flow across LVOT • Measure size of LVOT • Measure velocity across aortic valve • Compute size of aortic valve
Diagnosis • Cardiaccatheterization • Allows for direct measurement of gradient across the aortic valve
