<p>The Department does not provide information on Aortic Stenosis. Local services
in the National Health Service are responsible for providing information to patients
on ways to reduce their risk of heart disease including Aortic Stenosis, including
reference to the NHS website.</p><p>NHS England have considered research that has
evidenced that women tend to present symptoms of Aortic Stenosis at an older age than
men. Both men and women exhibit the same symptoms of aortic stenosis, with dizziness
and breathlessness more common in women.</p><p>NHS England have recently published
an adult breathlessness pathway tool for clinicians working in Primary Care. This
will help support diagnosis of chronic breathlessness which is a more common symptom
of Aortic Stenosis in women.</p><p>NHS England have developed and published a new
heart failure and heart valve disease e-learning for healthcare (e-LfH) course for
primary care and community and enable health care professionals to better recognise
the symptoms of Aortic Stenosis in both men and women, and to diagnose, manage, and
support heart failure and heart valve disease patient.</p>
