Aortic stenosis can develop without symptoms, but over time, the stiffening and narrowing of the aortic valve decreases blood flow from the heart out to the rest of the body.

Left heart disease is the most common cause of pulmonary hypertension (PHT) accounting for over 65% of all diagnosed cases.1 In over half of these patients, PHT is the consequence of valve dysfunction ...
