Aortic valve stenosis

Preview

Although symptoms and signs of aortic stenosis may not appear until a patient is well into adulthood, the onset of angina pectoris, syncope, and cardiac failure may herald rapid decline and death. Dr Resnekov stresses the seriousness of these manifestations and describes clinical findings and recommended studies. Surgery for both children and adults is discussed, as is proper management of pregnancy in women with aortic stenosis.
