Aortostenosis or aortic stenosis? - mc

Posted: Apr 20, 2011

In an echocardiogram which is corrrect, aortostenosis or aortic stenosis.

I have always used aortic stenosis - MommaTyper

From what I gather, aortostenosis is narrowing of the aorta and aortic stenosis is pathologic narrowing of the aortic valve orifice. Here's a link regarding echocardiography used to evaluate aortic stenosis ~ http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/150638-overview

both are correct. I'd go vertabim, if not clear, either/or NM - anon

aortic "ic" and ending meaning "pertaining to" just like mathematic = pertaining to math.

aortic stenosis is stenosis pertaining to the aorta.

aortostenosis "o" is a combining form and would not convey the meaning of pertaining to the specific stenosis, it would just make the two words into one combining form.

you explained it - perfectly!

That was the best explanation I have ever heard.
