Can degenerative aortic valve cause heart failure?

Heart failure is heart failure, and degenerative aortic valve lesions may cause heart failure, but they need to be analyzed in the context of a comprehensive picture. Degenerative aortic lesions generally occur because the aortic valve leaflets show mucous changes and thinning of the vascular tissue, which prevents effective closure when the pressure in the aorta is too high. When the pressure in the heart is too high, it causes the heart and the heart muscle to passively change its structure to meet the body’s needs, which in the long run may lead to the phenomenon of heart failure. However, in the case of mild degenerative aortic disease, where there is no significant change in blood flow to the heart and the patient is in relatively good health, heart failure will not be directly induced. In addition, for patients with degenerative changes of the aortic valve, because the load on the left ventricle appears to increase, the heart ultrasound will also show that the left ventricle is enlarged significantly. In daily life, it is recommended that such people avoid strenuous exercise, participate in regular medical checkups, and reasonably control their blood pressure, blood sugar, and blood lipids.
