Aortic<unk>  is non-obstructive degeneration of the aortic valve that presents predominantly in patients over 65 years of age who have risk factors for coronary artery disease.  Because aortic<unk>  is associated with coronary artery disease risk factors, it is also associated with a significant increase in the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction even in the absence of hemodynamically significant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. However, it remains unclear whether aortic<unk>  is independently associated with risk or merely a marker of coexistent cardiovascular risk factors.
