Aortic valve stenosis is usually defined by restricted systolic opening of the valve leaflets, with a mean transvalvular pressure gradient of at least 10 mm Hg. The cause of the stenosis can be further defined based on the anatomy and disease process affecting the valve.
Aortic sclerosis is thickening of the valve without any significant effect on the function of the valve itself. Aortic stenosis is thickening and tightening of the valve that leads to the heart having to work harder and the possibility of not enough blood being delivered to the body. The risk of aortic sclerosis progressing to aortic stenosis is low. The rate of progression to clinical aortic stenosis is under 2% per year.
