- Symptoms: Often asymptomatic initially but can lead to breathlessness, fatigue, and palpitations.
- Diagnosis: Typically diagnosed via echocardiography, alongside clinical examination for characteristic murmurs.
- Management: Depending on severity, treatment can include medical therapy (e.g., vasodilators) or surgical intervention such as aortic valve replacement.
- Complications: Potential complications include heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death if left untreated.
