In this episode we are joined by Dublin based Cardiology Specialist Registrar Dr Roisin Gardiner to discuss aortic stenosis as a station in the MRCPI Part II clinical exam.

We discuss the approach, physical findings, a differential diagnosis, investigations and management. We then go on to briefly talk through some potential follow-up questions including Heyde's syndrome, symptoms of aortic stenosis, echocardiogram findings of severe aortic stenosis, surgical repair versus TAVI and benefits of mechanical versus bioprosthetic valves.
