Aortic stenosis occurs when the aortic valve, the main outflow valve of the heart, stiffens and narrows. This means it can no longer open fully, reducing or blocking blood flow from the heart into the main artery (aorta) and the rest of the body.
In a significant portion of people the condition remains silent, with symptoms appearing only when the condition is already advanced.
Given the aging of the UK population, it is thought that there may be a large pool of as yet undiagnosed people who might benefit from life-saving treatment.
What's more, over half of those with advanced disease will likely die within 5 years without timely, proactive treatment, they add.
…This had come up with a prevalence of severe disease of 3.5% among the over 75s.
The researchers estimate that the overall prevalence of severe aortic stenosis among the over 55s in the UK in 2019 to be almost 1.5%, equal to around 300,000 people living with this potentially deadly condition at any one time.
Of the total numbers with aortic stenosis, just under 200,000 (68%) had severe (symptomatic) disease in 2019, prompting the need for around 116,000 SAVR and 51,000 TAVI procedures, the researchers estimate.
But the 92,389 people with 'silent' disease, representing nearly a third of all cases (32%), will probably not be diagnosed unless they are being proactively screened for aortic stenosis or undergoing tests for another heart problem, they suggest.
Without timely proactive treatment up to 172,859 of those with severe aortic stenosis (59%, overall) in 2019 will die over the next five years to 2024, equal to 35,000 people every year.

My wife and I had the calcium exams done. You can find places that will do these for under $125 a person (but you may have to endure a sales pitch for a wider body scan). The scans are quick and mine showed a small amount of calcium in just one heart artery, for which I then more than doubled my Vitamin K & K2. I had already been taking Vitamin D for years.

VACCINE RELATED?
Throw in a few vaccine blood clots and Bob’s your uncle!
“VACCINE RELATED?”
Study was in 2019
How much of this is genetic? Just like their poor teeth.
“VACCINE RELATED?”

Likely no more related than the sudden appearance of chupacabras in Texas or UFOs off the coast near San Diego.
20% of those with it was from genetic causes.
My son lived with those patches until just after his 32nd birthday. He went to the dentist and was infected with a respiratory pathogen. In a few days, he was in need of medical support for bronchitis. A PA prescribed Z-Pak. He took the 5 tablet course and returned for a checkup. His doctor did at PT test as azithromycin can raise PT along with extending the QT interval of the heart. That was Wednesday morning. The PT was > 8.5. The doctor was alarmed. Stop the Coumedin immediately. When my wife left at 10:30 PM for her 11 PM to 7 AM shift, my son was in the kitchen making a sandwich. He didn't feel great. My middle son needed a ride back from the auto mechanic shop in the morning, so my wife didn't return into the house until 8:20 AM. She opened my son's door to check on him. Dead. Slumped against his bed. I suspect sudden cardiac death from the azithromycin. Vanderbilt published a warning about that very hazard on the day he died.
I drove home from San Diego immediately upon hearing from my wife. A few minutes of examination of his Firefox browser history showed his last mouse click at 1:19 AM. Shopping for an ocarina. He died sitting in front of his computer. The coroner had to guess time of death. I'll go with 1:19 AM.
AS can when first detected appear to be a heart murmur, but it is a problem that develops over long periods of time as those who have it are usually asymptomatic. Bill Paxton the actor (Titanic, Aliens) had it, underwent surgery and died in 2017 shortly following the AVR procedure. Look him up.
It is not common but there are a few heart problems resulting from fetal circulation not being properly resolved at birth. I am not an Authority, but I have studied the matter just a bit.
what does the Vit K and K2 do for you?
Belated condolences on your son, Myrddin.
That is a horrible thing for you to have lived through.
I am so sorry, and I wish that I had words for you to help provide some console. I realize that is of course is impossible. Still, I do appreciate you sharing this story.
Lots of luck to those people with this condition in the UK as they might wait for months or years for their National Health Service to allow them to be tested or treated. They also might be deemed too old and receive no treatment or testing.
Say no to the jab.
I am truly sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss of your son. Thanks for telling us his story. For myself, it is a reminder that every day with the people we love is precious.
