==Overview==
Prior to surgical intervention, clinicians may opt to utilize medical therapy for aortic stenosis treatment. Pharmacological therapies can be used on some aortic stenosis patients. Caution must be taken in avoiding complications such as excess vasodilation, as it could lead to functional decline in the patient. Medical treatment is primarily symptomatic. The patient should be treated medically if there are no indications for aortic valve replacement or aortic balloon valvotomy.
Medical treatment of [[hypertension]] and [[hyperlipidemia]] according to the Guidelines is considered for [[patients]] with [[AS]]. Therapy with [[ACE inhibitor]] or [[ARB]]  may reduce the [[mortality rate]] in [[patients]] with [[AS]] who underwent [[TAVI]].

Aortic stenosis may be medically treated to control symptoms. Extreme care should be taken to avoid excess vasodilation in the patient with critical aortic stenosis which could precipitate a downward spiral of low forward output, impaired subendocardial perfusion, ischemia and further reductions in forward output. Medications that may be used to control the symptoms of aortic stenosis includes:
* 2 small [[RCTs]] have not confirmed that [[antihypertensive]] [[ medications]] may reduce the [[cardiac output]] because [[AS]] does not result in fixed [[valve]] obstruction until late stage of the [[disease]].
* The study of asymptomatic [[AS]] showed the association of [[hypertension]] with higher rate of [[ischemic cardiovascular]] events and a 2-fold higher [[mortality rate]] than  normotensive [[patients]] with [[AS]]. However, impact on progression of valve stenosis leading to [[symptoms]] requiring [[AVR]] was not observed.
* [[Medical therapy]] for [[hypertension]] is based on the standard guidelines, initiating at a low dose and gradually titrated upward as needed to controlling of [[blood pressure]].
* There are no studies considering specific [[antihypertensive]] medications in [[patients]] with [[AS]], but [[diuretics]] may reduce [[stroke volume]], particularly if the [[LV]] chamber is small at baseline.
* The advantages of [[ACE inhibitors]] include beneficial effects on [[LV fibrosis]], and control of [[hypertension]].<ref name="pmid15222408">{{cite journal |vauthors=O'Brien KD, Zhao XQ, Shavelle DM, Caulfield MT, Letterer RA, Kapadia SR, Probstfield JL, Otto CM |title=Hemodynamic effects of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, ramipril, in patients with mild to moderate aortic stenosis and preserved left ventricular function |journal=J Investig Med |volume=52 |issue=3 |pages=185–91 |date=April 2004 |pmid=15222408 |doi=10.1136/jim-52-03-33 |url=}}</ref>
* Target [[blood pressure]] should be considered higher for [[patients]] with [[AS]]  than is recommended for the general [[population]].

*[[Beta blockers]] and [[angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors]], are generally safe for asymptomatic patients with preserved left ventricular systolic function.
*[[Nitroglycerin]] is helpful in relieving [[angina pectoris]] symptoms but should be used cautiously to avoid hypotention.
* Some studies showed that patients with calcific AS who receive HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors ([[statins]]) exhibit slower progression of leaflet calcification and aortic valve area reduction than those who do not.


Patients with severe AS (< 1.0 cm2) should avoid strenuous physical activity.

If the patient has symptoms of [[heart failure]], the symptoms should be controlled and he should have sodium restriction. The phisicion may administer diuretics and digoxin cautiously to avoid dehydration, hypovolemia and significant reduction in [[cardiac output]].

Overview

Medical treatment of hypertension and hyperlipidemia according to the Guidelines is considered for patients with AS. Therapy with ACE inhibitor or ARB may reduce the mortality rate in patients with AS who underwent TAVI.

Medical Therapy

Recommendations for medical therapy in aortic stenosis
(Class I, Level of Evidence B):

❑ In patients at risk of developing AS (stage A) or asymptomatic AS (stage B,C), hypertension should be controlled by initiating low dose medications and titration doses based on clinical evaluation

(Class I, Level of Evidence A):

❑Statin therapy is recommended in all patients with calcified AS for primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerosis

(Class IIb, Level of Evidence B):

❑ACEI or ARB may be considered after TAVI to reduce the long term risk of all cause mortality

NO benefit(Class III, Level of Evidence A):

❑Statin is not indicated in calcified AS (stage B,C) for prevention of hemodynamic progression of AS

The above table adopted from 2020 AHA-ACC Guideline[11]


Abbreviations: AS: Aortic stenosis; TAVI: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation;
