Prevalence

Aortic stenosis is a common problem. Approximately 2% of people over the age of 65, 3% of people over age 75, and 4% percent of people over age 85 have the disorder.In North America and Europe, a linear relationship exists between an aging population and an increase in aortic stenosis.


As a disease, aortic stenosis has a high rate of morbidity and mortality resulting in a large personal and economic burden on effected populations. Without medical intervention, aortic stenosis can be a major health problem.
