Overview
Majority of the patients with aortic sclerosis are aged beyond 65 years and are associated with a significant increase in the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction even in the absence of hemodynamically significant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.[1][2][3]
Supportive Trial Data
Based on a large cohort study,[2] that enrolled 5201 subjects aged 65 years or above demonstrated among patients aged 75 years and above, aortic sclerosis was present in ~37% patients while aortic stenosis was seen only in 2.6% patients.
