Aortic Valve Stenosis: A Silent, Deadly Threat
Published on 01/04/2025
» “Aortic valve stenosis” is an often-overlooked condition and a growing health concern in ageing societies such as Thailand. With an increasing elderly population and a rise in age-related valve degeneration, this condition poses a serious threat to public health. According to the Ministry of Public Health’s 2022 report, cardiovascular diseases claimed 70,000 Thai lives — equivalent to eight deaths every hour. Among these, heart valve disease is a key contributor, particularly aortic valve stenosis, which is increasingly prevalent among individuals aged 65 and older. As people age, calcium deposits can cause the aortic valve to thicken and stiffen, reducing its ability to open fully and thus restricting blood flow.
