Aortic valve disease imparts a pressure or volume overload on the left ventricle (LV). If this load is severe and prolonged, it eventually leads to LV damage, congestive heart failure (CHF), and death. These mechanical problems ultimately require mechanical correction in the form of valve replacement or repair, and the timing and types of mechanical therapy will be the main thrusts of this article.
主动脉瓣疾病会给左心室（LV）带来压力或容量超负荷。如果这种负荷严重且持续时间长，最终会导致左心室损伤、充血性心力衰竭（CHF）和死亡。这些机械性问题最终需要通过瓣膜置换或修复的形式进行机械矫正，而机械治疗的时机和类型将是本文的重点。
