Aortic stenosis is a heart valve disorder that narrows or obstructs the aortic valve opening. Narrowing of the aortic valve prevents the valve from opening properly and obstructs the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. This can reduce the amount of blood that flows forward to the body.

This pathologic mode is characterized by the following list of hemodynamic changes:

• decrease of arterial systemic conductivity Y_HLAL:


• left ventricular hypertrophy is characterized by reduction of end-diastolic ventricular volume due to increase left ventricular wall elasticity and reduction of its stressless volume.

Aortic stenosis

Full-blown left ventricular hypertrophy (obstruction of the blood flow from the left ventricle)
