Patient discussion about cardiac stenosis.

Q. Why does Aortic stenosis causes an enlarged heart? My father was recently diagnosed as suffering from enlarged heart due to his Aortic stenosis. what is the connection between those to conditions? As far as I understand that aortic stenosis mean that the aortic valve is too small not too large...

A. The connection between those pathologies is mainly mechanical. because your father's valve is smaller, less amount of blood can be ejected in every heart bit. because of that the heart is working harder. the heart is a muscle and like other muscles in our body when it "works out" it gets bigger
