Summary:
- Aortic stenosis is a condition where the heart's aortic valve becomes narrowed, making it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively.
- Amyloidosis is a rare disease where abnormal proteins (called amyloids) build up in the body's organs, including the heart.
- Patients with both aortic stenosis and amyloidosis often require a combination of treatments, including valve replacement surgery and medications to manage the amyloidosis.
