Aortic valve pathology is the third most common cardiovascular disease after coronary artery disease and hypertension, which is responsible for severe morbidity and mortality in elderly patients and requires surgical treatment in its most severe form of progression. The purpose of this study is to find a link between arterial stiffness and degenerative aortic stenosis. If this link is established, arterial stiffness may become a medical therapeutic target in order to delay the evolution of the disease.
