COVID-19 patient inquiries
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infection disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus.
It causes mild to moderate respiratory illness in most people who are infected. Older patients and those with underlying medical problems such as heart valve disease are more likely to develop serious illness. We understand that this can be a challenging time for patients with aortic stenosis, patients who are recovering from a recent aortic valve replacement, patients who have an upcoming aortic valve procedure and for patients who’ve had their procedure postponed.
