Physical Examination

  • There is a systolic murmur from birth (occurs later in life in acquired AS),
  • Unlike acquired aortic stenosis(AS), the contour of the carotid pulse is not a good predictor of severity in congenital AS because it is so variable.
  • Because the valve is not calcified early on in the case of a fused valve, a click may be present unlike acquired AS.
  • Patients often have an S4.
