What are the symptoms of aortic valve stenosis?

In this video, Dr. Glenn Barnhart defines the symptoms of aortic valve stenosis. The symptoms of aortic valve stenosis are shortness of breath, chest pains, and lightheadedness. If a patient develops aortic stenosis, their valves may become calcified, rigid, and hard. Some patients are born with only two leaflets, called a bicuspid aortic valve, which is a congenital lesion. Typically these valves work fairly well to normal, but due to the abnormality of the valve, later in life the valve becomes rigid and calcified. Patients who develop aortic regurgitation have a whole host of things that could be causing the aortic regurgitation, which includes a connective tissue disorder or a malformed valve.
