Progression of aortic stenosis.

D B Bogart, B L Murphy, B Y Wong

    Chest
    |October 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    Aortic stenosis progresses in most adults with the condition, leading to a reduced aortic valve area. This progression can occur relatively quickly, within 27-29 months, highlighting the need for monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Valvular Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common valvular heart disease.
    • Understanding the progression of AS in adults without surgical intervention is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the progression of aortic valve stenosis in adult patients with isolated AS who did not undergo aortic valve surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 11 adult patients with AS.
    • Two cardiac catheterizations were performed on each patient, with a mean interval of 59 months.
    • Measurements included aortic valve area, left ventricular peak systolic pressure, and left ventricular-aortic pressure gradient.

    Main Results:

    • Progressive aortic stenosis was observed in 10 out of 11 patients.
    • A significant decrease in mean aortic valve area (1.2 to 0.7 sq cm) was noted (P < 0.005).
    • Significant increases in left ventricular peak systolic pressure (149 to 199 mm Hg, P < 0.01) and left ventricular-aortic pressure gradient (31 to 75 mm Hg, P < 0.005) were recorded.

    Conclusions:

    • Progressive aortic valve stenosis occurs in adults with isolated AS.
    • A significant reduction in aortic valve area can develop within 27-29 months.
    • Changes in pressure gradients may not always directly correlate with aortic valve area changes due to cardiac output variations.
