Aortic calcification
Introduction
Introduction Aortic calcification is a congenital aortic valve disease that may have no obvious symptoms in early childhood. Common symptoms of general aortic valve disease are palpitations, shortness of breath and angina after exertion. In cases of severe aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation, angina is particularly severe due to severe coronary insufficiency.

Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
Can be differentiated from aortic sclerosis.
Aortic sclerosis is mainly caused by damage to the endothelium of the aorta and decreased blood vessel elasticity. Caused by high blood pressure, mainly due to the increase in systolic blood pressure. If aortic sclerosis occurs, it suggests that the body also has arteriosclerosis. Therefore, treatment should be carried out as soon as possible. In order to prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, and angina pectoris, heart infarction, and even sudden cardiac death.
