Our Mother has moderate aortic stenosis and is currently taking warfarin, metropolol, and baby aspirin . Doctor will also be prescribing Norvasc. Would this medication also assist with the decreased blood flow symptoms that she gets with her aortic stenosis and how?

Hi There

After going through your query i understand your concern.

I would like to tell you that Norvasc is not a drug of choice to use in Aortic Stenosis because it reduces afterload and is not going to improve cardiac output and can cause symptomatic hypotension with or without syncope. Kindly consult again with your treating Cardiologist regarding same.

Hope to have been Helpful

Kind Regards
