Clinical interest for patients

Aortic stenosis

If you have it, there is a 50% chance it will take your life in less than 2 years if left untreated, says Dr. Walinsky. “We think that there are 275,000 people in the United States who have aortic valve stenosis and of that, only about a third will ever be treated.”
