The aorta is the main artery of our c orps that carries blood out of the heart. When the blood leaves the heart, it flows from the aortic valve into the aortic artery
The aortic valve is intended to prevent the return of blood pumped from the heart. In the presence of stenosis, the aortic valve does not open completely, it becomes narrower and narrower, decreasing blood flow to the heart.
The "Hearts of Tomorrow" campaign aims to increase knowledge and understanding of aortic stenosis, promoting its diagnosis and early treatment.
The Portuguese Association of Cardiovascular Intervention, a non-profit organization, aims to study, research and promote scientific activities in the medical, surgical, technological and organizational aspects of Cardiovascular Intervention
