==Overview==
==Overview==
Causes of aortic stenosis are either congenital or acquired, and its common causes vary between different age groups and between different human populations.  While [[Bicuspid aortic stenosis|congenital bicuspid aortic valve]] is the most common cause of aortic stenosis in people below 70 years of age, acquired degenerative calcific aortic stenosis is the most common cause in older patients above 70 years of age. [[Rheumatic heart disease]] remains the most common cause of aortic stenosis worldwide and calcification, either degenerative calcification in older adults, or early calcification secondary to a congenital bicuspid aortic valve are the most common causes in North America.<ref name="Lugiano-2013">{{Cite journal | last1 = Lugiano | first1 = CA. | title = Aortic stenosis. | journal = JAAPA | volume = 26 | issue = 11 | pages = 46-7 | month = Nov | year = 2013 | doi = 10.1097/01.JAA.0000436518.69169.8e | PMID = 24153092 }}</ref>
Aortic stenosis can be either congenital or acquired, and its common causes vary between different age groups and between different populations.  [[Rheumatic heart disease]] remains the most common cause of aortic stenosis worldwide.  Calcification of the [[aortic valve]] is the most common cause of aortic stenosis in North America and Europe. While calcification of [[Bicuspid aortic stenosis|congenital bicuspid aortic valve]] is the most common cause of aortic stenosis in people less than 70 years of age, acquired degenerative calcific aortic stenosis is the most common cause in older patients above the age of 70 years.

===Causes of Aortic Stenosis as of Type of Stenosis===  
===Life Threatening Causes===
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent [[disability]] within 24 hours if left untreated. Aortic stenosis is a progressive disease and does not have a life threatening cause. However, [[complications]] resulting from untreated disease name is common.

Causes of Aortic Valve Calcification:
====Over Age 70====
*Aortic stenosis is most commonly caused by age-related progressive [[calcific aortic valve disease|calcification]] of the normal tricuspid aortic valve (>50% of cases).  
*[[Calcification|Degenerative calcification]]<ref name="pmid26227196">{{cite journal| author=Pawade TA, Newby DE, Dweck MR| title=Calcification in Aortic Stenosis: The Skeleton Key. | journal=J Am Coll Cardiol | year= 2015 | volume= 66 | issue= 5 | pages= 561-77 | pmid=26227196 | doi=10.1016/j.jacc.2015.05.066 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=26227196  }} </ref>

Causes of More Rapid AS Progression:
*Normal valves have three leaflets (tricuspid), but some valves have only two (bicuspid). Aortic stenosis due to calcification of a [[bicuspid valve]] typically becomes symptomatic in the 40s and 50s whereas that due to calcification of a normal valve manifests later in the 70s and 80s. [[Hypertension]], [[diabetes mellitus]], [[hyperlipoproteinemia]] and [[uremia]] may speed up the process. <ref name=uas/>

Overview

Aortic stenosis can be either congenital or acquired, and its common causes vary between different age groups and between different populations. Rheumatic heart disease remains the most common cause of aortic stenosis worldwide. Calcification of the aortic valve is the most common cause of aortic stenosis in North America and Europe. While calcification of congenital bicuspid aortic valve is the most common cause of aortic stenosis in people less than 70 years of age, acquired degenerative calcific aortic stenosis is the most common cause in older patients above the age of 70 years.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. Aortic stenosis is a progressive disease and does not have a life threatening cause. However, complications resulting from untreated disease name is common.

Common Causes

Common causes of aortic stenosis may include:[1][2][3][4]

Causes by Location of Stenosis

Valvular Aortic Stenosis

Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis

Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis

Causes by Age Groups

Under Age 70

Over Age 70
