    Steel's test results, I had reached a diagnosis as to what is likely to be her condition. According to the signs, symptoms, and test results in addition to the family history provided, Mrs. Steel portrays strong indications for having aortic valve stenosis. Generally, the occurrence of valvular stenosis is a result of the flaps stiffening or thickening; therefore, preventing the heart valve from fully opening, which, as a result, reduces the rate of blood flowing through the valve. In this case, stenosis of the aortic valve affects the outflow, diminishing the amount of blood reaching the rest of the body vessels as well as the heart itself. In Mrs. Steel's situation, she may have acquired the disease genetically in addition to having been a smoker for multiple years and taking medication that promotes valvular heart disease. Overall, etiology of aortic valve stenosis includes—but is not limited to-- the following examples: degeneration due to age, rheumatic fever, smoking, bacterial endocarditis, calcium deposits forming on the valve, damage due to atherosclerosis, damage of the heart muscles due to heart attack, medication or drugs that may promote valvular heart disease, radiation therapy,…
