Slowing the Progression of Aortic Stenosis: Philippe Pibarot at iMAGINE

Calcific aortic valve disease is an inflammatory degenerative condition. For now, the only treatment for severe aortic stenosis is surgical or transcatheter valve replacement. Is there hope for a medical therapy that may slow the progression of the disease? Dr. Philippe Pibarot of the Quebec Heart and Lung Institute, a well-known expert on aortic stenosis, shares his recent research at Piedmont Heart’s iMAGINE conference.

Very nice explanation and slowing progression of severe aortic stenosis using medication

I had aortic stenosis conclusion last 2022 with the result in my 2d echo. Please help me

[@kchilz32]

I had two X-rays recently and it says my aorta is mildly calcified but my X-rays from a year ago didn’t mention it. Can this progress quickly? Or was there a mistake made in interpreting the X-ray? I’m 40 so I don’t know.

sometimes it can progress quickly and sometimes it can remain stable for years. It's important to have an echo annually when you reach moderate stenosis.
