Overview
The aortic valve controls the direction of blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. When functioning appropriately, the aortic valve does not impede the flow of blood between these two spaces. Under some circumstances, the aortic valve becomes narrower than normal, impeding the flow of blood. This is known as aortic valve stenosis, or aortic stenosis, often abbreviated as AS.
