ABSTRACT

Aortic Stenosis is the main valve disease in the western world and the most common cause of heart valve operations. Aortic stenosis occurs primarily due to a degenerative calcification of the aortic cusps most frequently in the context of a patient with congenital bicuspid aortic valve. Currently, no medical therapies are able to modify disease progression, however the advances in knowledge about the pathophysiology and genetics involved could lead to new treatments. Nowadays several drugs for this purpose are being studied and the only treatments that improve the outcome in these patients are still the aortic replacement and aortic implantation.
