[Actuality of pathomorphogenesis investment in calcific aortic valve stenosis.].

The increasing of lifetime industrial countries population leads to widespreading diseases of age. Dramatic growth of sclerodegenerative heart valve diseases in last decades is one of the best examples. We observed 814 patients of different gender and age with acquired heart valve diseases using echocardiography. We found out that the most common heart valve disease is degenerative aortic stenosis. Unfortunately, nowadays in Russia no more than 20% of the necessary operations on aortic valve are performed, the main reason of it is, more likely, insufficient and untimely diagnosis of the defect. However, the surgery of vice serves only as a mechanical elimination of the problem, without affecting the causes which led to its development. So we need modern data about sclerodegenerative heart valve diseases epidemiology and discloses actuality of the problem.
