Resumen

En este trabajo se analizan diversos aspectos de la estenosis aórtica degenerativa. Esta entidad clínica se está convirtiendo en un problema sanitario importante, ligado al envejecimiento progresivo de la población. Diversos estudios poblacionales han puesto de manifiesto que la prevalencia de la patología de la válvula aórtica en el anciano es elevada, y por otra parte distintos trabajos clínicos han evidenciado el carácter habitualmente progresivo de este tipo de lesión valvular. Recientes estudios han considerado la posibilidad de que esta lesión valvular sea una forma de arteriosclerosis, y por ello se ha hecho hincapié en la necesidad de un estricto control de los factores de riesgo para intentar prevenir la progresión de la lesión. Por último, la cirugía puede ser una excelente opción terapéutica en muchos casos.

Summary

In this work, several aspects of degenerative aortic stenosis have been analyzed. This clinical entity is becoming an important health problem, linked to the progressive aging of the population. Several populational studies have manifested that the prevalence of disease of the aortic valve in the elderly is high, and, on the other hand, different clinical studies have shown the commonly progressive character of this type of valvular lesion. Recent studies have considered the possibility that this valvular lesion is a form of arteriosclerosis and thus, emphasis has been placed on the need for a strict control of the risk factors in order to prevent the lesion progression. Finally, surgery can be an excellent therapeutic option in many cases.
