63

64
What is the first step of the pathophysiology of aortic stenosis?
65
What occurs after fibrosis/calcification of the aortic valve, in the pathophysiology of aortic stenosis?
Left ventricle has to contract harder to pump blood through the stenotic valve
Leads to concentric LV myocardial hypertrophy
66
What is the result of concentric LV myocardial hypertrophy?
Hypertrophic LV becomes stiff overtime and harder to fill leading to decrease cardiac output - diastolic dysfunction
(Can lead to HFpEF)
67
How can the increased pressure in the LV effect the left atrium and the lungs?
Pressure in LV backs up to the left atrium
Causes dilation
Left atria loses efficiency to pump blood into left ventricle, leading to backing up of blood and pressure into the lungs
Causes pulmonary congestion
68
