Overview
Aortic stenosis can be either congenital or acquired, and its common causes vary between different age groups and between different populations. Rheumatic heart disease remains the most common cause of aortic stenosis worldwide. Calcification of the aortic valve is the most common cause of aortic stenosis in North America and Europe;[1] while calcification of congenital bicuspid aortic valve is the most common cause of aortic stenosis in people less than 70 years of age, acquired degenerative calcific aortic stenosis is the most common cause in older patients above the age of 70 years.[2][3]
Causes
Causes of Aortic Stenosis by Location of Stenosis
Valvular Aortic Stenosis
- Acquired [4]
- Congenital [4]
- 3-Methylglutaconic aciduria type 4
- Bardet-Biedl syndrome
- Bicuspid aortic valve
- Chromosome 15q deletion syndromes
- Fabry's disease
- Familial hypercholesterolemia
- Familial thoracic aortic aneurysm syndrome
- Hypoplastic aortic annulus[8]
- Loeys-Dietz syndrome
- Mucolipidosis III gamma
- Onat syndrome
- Quadricuspid aortic valve
- Singleton-Merten syndrome
- Sweet syndrome
- Tricuspid aortic valve with commissural fushion
- Turner syndrome
- Unicuspid aortic valve
Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis
- Familial subvalvular aortic stenosis[9]
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis
Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis
- Aortitis
- Familial supravalvular aortic stenosis[10]
- Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia[11]
- Hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- Williams syndrome[12]
Causes of Aortic Stenosis by Frequency
According to the Euro Heart Survey[4] on valvular heart disease, the frequencies of the different underlying causes of aortic stenosis were the following:
- Calcific degeneration - 81.9%
- Rheumatic fever - 11.2% [13]
- Congenital - 5.6%
- Post-endocarditis - 1.3%
Causes of Aortic Valve Calcification:
- Aortic stenosis is most commonly caused by age-related progressive calcification of the normal tricuspid aortic valve (>50% of cases).
- Other causes include:
- Calcification of a congenital bicuspid aortic valve (30-40% of cases of calcification)
- Acute rheumatic fever (less than 10% of cases of calcification)
Causes of More Rapid Aortic Stenosis Progression:
- Normal valves have three leaflets (tricuspid), but some valves have only two (bicuspid). Aortic stenosis due to calcification of a bicuspid valve typically becomes symptomatic in the 40s and 50s whereas that due to calcification of a normal valve manifests later in the 70s and 80s. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipoproteinemia and uremia may speed up the process.[13]
Causes of Aortic Stenosis by Age Groups
The cause of aortic stenosis will vary with age:[14][15]
- Under Age 70:
- Bicuspid aortic valve - 50%
- Postinflammatory - 25%
- Degenerative calcific - 18%
- Unicommissural - 3%
- Hypoplastic - 2%
- Indeterminant - 2%
- Over Age 70:
- Degenerative calcific - 48%
- Bicuspid - 27%
- Postinflammatory - 23%
- Hypoplastic - 2%

Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
Common Causes
- Calcific degeneration
- Congenital bicuspid aortic valve
- Infective endocarditis
- Rheumatic fever[1][13]
