Aortic stenosis is narrowing of the semilunar valve , impeding delivery of blood from the guts to the body.Aortic stenosis are often caused by congenital bicuspid semilunar valve , scarred semilunar valve of infectious disease , and wearing of semilunar valve within the elderly.Aortic stenosis can cause pain , fainting, and coronary failure resulting in shortness of breath.Echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization are important tests in diagnosing and evaluating severity of stenosis .Patients with stenosis are usually given antibiotics before any procedures which could introduce bacteria into the bloodstream, like dental procedures and surgeries. Patients with stenosis who have symptoms may require surgical heart valve replacement. Rheumatic fever. A complication of streptococcal sore throat infection, infectious disease may end in connective tissue forming on the semilunar valve . Scar tissue alone can narrow the semilunar valve and cause semilunar valve stenosis. Scar tissue also can create a rough surface on which calcium deposits can collect, contributing to semilunar valve stenosis later in life.Rheumatic fever may damage quite one heart valve, and in more than one way. A damaged heart valve might not open fully or close fully — or both. While infectious disease is rare within the us , some older adults had infectious disease as children.
