Mild thickening of aortic valve

    • Hypertrophy of nodules of arantius and aortic insufficiency ...

      Aortic insufficiency (AI) due to fibrosis and thickening of the nodules of Arantius in the otherwise normal aortic valve was found in 11 adults (age range, 41 to 65 years) between 1976 and 1988. Nine had concomitant mitral stenosis; 2 had coronary artery disease. In 6 patients A1 was graded 3+ or greater; in 5 it was less than 3+.

      With mild obstruction, patients usually have no symptoms. The problem is detected by the presence of a clicking sound in the heart and a murmur. When the valve opening narrows to about one-fourth its original size, symptoms are common. The most common symptom of an obstructed or leaky aortic valve is shortness of breath with exertion. This ...

      he prevalence of calcific aortic valve disease approach-es 25% of all adults aged >65 years. Most of these patients have only mild focal valve thickening, or aortic valve sclerosis, with normal valve function, but a signifi-cant number, ranging from 2% to 5% of all older adults, have significant aortic stenosis (AS) with obstruction to left

      Conclusions:Aortic valve thickening without stenosis is common, and it may progress to significant AS. It is possible that this development of AS may be respon-sible for some of the increased morbidity and mortality in patients with AVT.
