Routine screening at age 65 isn't optional. It's critical.

Many patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) don’t know they have it—until they show up at the ER in crisis. AS can remain silent until it’s critical. You are your patients’ first line of defense. Screen all patients 65 and older at every visit. If you hear a murmur, refer them immediately for an echocardiogram. Early detection can help saves lives.

Your vigilance can prevent a silent condition from becoming an emergency.

Severe AS can escalate rapidly and without warning, putting patient lives at risk

35% or approximately 3 in 10 patients with moderate-to-severe AS are not diagnosed.

By the time symptoms appear, it may be too late. Your proactive screening and timely referral can prevent avoidable deaths.

Timely detection is essential. Your clinical vigilance helps ensure patients receive treatment before severe complications arise.
