Medical Conditions - Aortic Stenosis

Narrowing of the aortic valve of the heart is called aortic stenosis, which results in reduced blood flow from the heart to the rest of the body. As the heart has to pump harder to supply blood, it causes symptoms like heart murmur, chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, heart palpitations, and fatigue.
