Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve which prevents the aortic leaflets from opening and closing properly. Patients with aortic stenosis often have heart murmurs and experience debilitating symptoms including chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, shortness of breath and an irregular heartbeat.
