The highest risk  of aortic stenosis is when the disease is diagnosed at a later stage where the disease has progressed to the critical stage putting a threat on the patient’s life. Such patients find it difficult to even walk a few steps due to the weakening of the heart. This in turn increases the chances for heart failure due to deprivation in oxygen supply to the body.

Another risk is people misunderstanding aortic stenosis symptoms as a sign of ageing and they delay treatments which will only increase the severity of the disease. Fatigue, fast heart rate, anxiety, and low energy are few such common symptoms that can confuse patients in analyzing whether they need a consultation or not. It is advised to seek medical help to find out the actual problem rather than assuming to avoid big complications in the future.
