Chest Pain

Although there are a variety of reasons why an individual might experience chest pain, it is always something that should cause concern. However, it does not necessarily mean that the person is having a heart attack or experiencing cardiac arrest. Another cause of chest pain is a heart murmur. With both aortic sclerosis and aortic stenosis that we mentioned above, the heart is forced to work harder to ensure that blood is successfully getting to other parts of the body. Again, this could mean that a replacement of the aortic valve is necessary.
