Aortic stenosis risk factors
Introduction
Overview
Overview
The most common risk factor for the development of aortic stenosis is the presence of a congenital bicuspid aortic valve. Risk factors that may speed up the progression of aortic stenosis include the same risk factors as atherosclerosis.
Risk Factors
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of aortic stenosis include:[1][2][3][4]
- Congenital bicuspid aortic valve that may subsequently become calcified later in life
- Acute rheumatic fever
- Age-related progressive calcification of the normal tricuspid aortic valve
Less common Risk Factors
Less common risk factors in the development of aortic stenosis include:[5][6][7][8]
Other Risk Factors
Some other risk factors of aortic stenosis include:[9][10][11]
- Radiation therapy for cancer, such as breast cancer or lymphoma
- High lipoprotein a
- Disorders of calcium metabolism
