If you have aortic stenosis but no symptoms, your doctor might find signs of the condition during a regular check-up or exam for a different health problem. The first clue is often a heart murmur, which your doctor can hear while listening to your heart.

If your doctor finds signs of stenosis, they may order tests, such as an echocardiogram, which is an ultrasound of the heart. The results can help your doctor see if you have narrowing of the aortic valve and make a definitive diagnosis.
