One of the most common, and serious, valve disease issues, aortic stenosis involves the narrowing of the aortic valve opening and restriction of blood flow. Caused by a congenital heart defect, or during aging as damage to the valve by calcium or scarring, aortic stenosis can lead to heart failure if untreated. More than 20% of older Americans have aortic stenosis.1
