An 84-year-old white woman was apparently asymptomatic until about 2 months before aortic valve replacement when she went to her physician because of developing exertional dyspnea and chest tightness. A transthoracic echocardiogram showed a normally contracting left ventricle, a normal sized left ventricular cavity, and an estimated aortic valve area of 0.6 cm2. The possibility of aortic valve replacement was discussed with the patient but she declined operative intervention.
