Aortic stenosis is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in the developed countries. Primarily a manifestation of ageing, the disorder is becoming more frequent as the average age of the population increases (120). The prevalence of aortic stenosis is 1-3% in the population older than 65 years and around 4% in that older than 85 years. ................
