Stenosis
A narrowing, as in Aortic Stenosis (narrowing of the Aortic valve in the heart), pulmonary Stenosis (narrowing of the pulmonary valve in the heart), pyloric Stenosis (narrowing of the outlet of the stomach), spinal Stenosis (narrowing of the vertebral canal, often with impingement upon the spinal cord).From the Greek stenos meaning narrow.

As the Aortic valve becomes more narrow, the pressure increases inside the left heart ventricle. This causes the left heart ventricle to become thicker, which decreases blood flow and can lead to chest pain. As the pressure continues to increase, blood may back up into the lungs, and you may feel short of breath. Severe forms of Aortic Stenosis prevent enough blood from reaching the brain and rest of the body. Lightheadedness and fainting can result.

It's possible that exercise, diet, and medicines that lower cholesterol also might prevent Aortic Stenosis (thickening and stiffening of the Aortic valve). Researchers continue to study this possibility.

Preliminary reports have documented the utility of balloon Aortic valvuloplasty as a palliative treatment for high-risk patients with critical Aortic Stenosis, but the effect of this procedure on cardiac performance has not been studied in detail.^Accordingly, 32 patients (mean age 79 years) with long-standing, calcific Aortic Stenosis were treated at the time of cardiac catheterization with balloon dilatation of the Aortic valve, and serial changes in left ventricular and valvular function were followed before and after valvuloplasty by radionuclide ventriculography, determination of systolic time intervals, and Doppler echocardiography.^Prevalvuloplasty examination revealed heavily calcified Aortic valves in all patients, a mean peak-to-peak Aortic valve gradient of 77 +/ - 27 mm Hg, a mean Fick cardiac output of 4.6 +/ - 1.4 liters/ min, and a mean calculated Aortic valve area of 0.6 +/ - 0.2 cm2.^Subsequent balloon dilatation with 12 to 23 mm valvuloplasty balloons resulted in a fall in Aortic valve gradient to 39 +/ - 15 mm Hg, an increase in cardiac output to 5.2 +/ - 1.8 liters/ min, and an increase in calculated Aortic valve area to 0.9 +/ - 0.3 cm2.^Individual hemodynamic responses varied considerably, with some patients showing major increases in valve area, while others demonstrated only small increases.^In no case was balloon dilatation accompanied by evidence of embolic phenomena.^Supravalvular aortography obtained in 13 patients demonstrated no or a mild increase in Aortic insufficiency.^Serial radionuclide ventriculography in patients with a depressed left ventricular ejection fraction revealed a small increase in ejection fraction from 40 +/ - 13% to 46 +/ - 12%.
