Long-term exposure to higher blood pressure is a strong and potentially modifiable risk factor for aortic stenosis and regurgitation at every level of typical blood pressure, not only in those who are classified as having hypertension.
Elevated BP is linked to aortic valve disease
If you have aortic stenosis, the left ventricle has to work harder to pump blood into the aorta, which is the main outlet for blood to continue on into the body.
