Aortic Stenosis Market

• The aortic stenosis market size is anticipated to sustain a steady Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) during the forecast period (2025–2034). This growth in market revenue is primarily propelled by an aging global population driving a higher incidence of aortic stenosis, expanding adoption of minimally invasive transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedures, and the development of novel pharmacologic therapies aimed at slowing disease progression.
• The increasing cases of aortic stenosis may be attributed to an aging population with more valve degeneration, improved detection through advanced imaging and screening, and a rising burden of comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and chronic kidney disease.
• No novel patented drugs are marketed for aortic stenosis; management relies on off label generics such as enalapril or losartan for afterload reduction and furosemide for volume control, alongside device based interventions like surgical and transcatheter valve replacements.
• The aortic stenosis landscape is poised for disruption by emerging pharmacotherapies—ataciguat, evogliptin, pelacarsen, and others in early development—each targeting calcification or lipoprotein(a) pathways; as these agents secure approval, competition with device based interventions will intensify and accelerate market growth at a robust CAGR.

Aortic Stenosis Disease Understanding

Aortic Stenosis Overview

Aortic stenosis is a prevalent valvular heart disease characterized by obstruction of left ventricular outflow. It is defined by an anterograde transvalvular velocity of at least 2 m/sec, distinguishing it from aortic valve sclerosis, which involves valve thickening and calcification without significant obstruction. The condition may arise from congenital malformations (such as bicuspid or unicuspid valves), age-related calcific degeneration, or rheumatic heart disease. After a prolonged asymptomatic period lasting 10 to 20 years, patients typically develop symptoms like exertional dyspnea and fatigue, followed by chest pain, syncope, or heart failure. Once symptoms appear, prognosis worsens significantly, with mortality exceeding 90% within a few years. The only definitive treatment is aortic valve replacement, performed either surgically or via transcatheter intervention.

Aortic Stenosis Diagnosis

Echocardiography remains the cornerstone for diagnosing and monitoring aortic stenosis, offering detailed assessment of valve anatomy, calcification severity, and direct visualization of the aortic valve orifice. It also provides critical measurements to guide surgical risk stratification. Longitudinal systolic strain imaging, a more sensitive indicator of left ventricular function, has been shown to better predict adverse outcomes, including mortality. Exercise testing can help reveal latent symptoms in asymptomatic patients but is contraindicated in those who are already symptomatic. Cardiac computed tomography is increasingly utilized, particularly in cases of calcific aortic valve disease when echocardiographic findings are inconclusive. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging serves as a valuable adjunct for evaluating left ventricular mass, function, and volumes, especially when echocardiographic data are suboptimal.

Aortic Stenosis Treatment Landscape

Medical therapy has limited impact on the progression of aortic stenosis, and aortic valve replacement (AVR)—either surgical or transcatheter—is the definitive treatment for severe symptomatic cases, offering significant improvements in survival, symptoms, and functional capacity. While hypertension often coexists with aortic stenosis, agents like ACE inhibitors and ARBs are generally preferred, and diuretics may provide short-term relief in patients with heart failure prior to AVR. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty offers only temporary benefit. AVR is indicated not only in symptomatic patients but also in select asymptomatic individuals with severe aortic stenosis—such as those with reduced LVEF (<50%), abnormal stress tests, high transvalvular gradients, or those undergoing other cardiac surgeries. Surgical AVR has a low operative mortality, particularly in younger, low-risk patients, and age alone should not preclude intervention. Transcatheter AVR (TAVR), now the standard for inoperable or high-risk patients, has shown comparable or superior outcomes in intermediate-risk groups, though long-term durability remains under evaluation. The choice between surgical and transcatheter approaches should be guided by a multidisciplinary heart valve team based on anatomical, clinical, and procedural factors.

Aortic Stenosis Drug Chapters

Emerging Aortic Stenosis Drugs

The aortic stenosis market is expected to evolve gradually, driven by the limited number of emerging therapies currently in development. Key players such as ataciguat, evogliptin, and pelacarsen, among others are showing active commitment to addressing this unmet need, with ongoing efforts to advance novel treatment options for this complex condition.

Ataciguat: Kardigan

Ataciguat is an oral activator of oxidized soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) that targets impaired nitric oxide signaling, aiming to slow calcification and disease progression in aortic valve tissue.

It is currently being evaluated in a Phase III trial in adults with moderate calcific aortic stenosis to determine its effectiveness in slowing valve calcification, preserving valve function, and maintaining exercise capacity.

Evogliptin: REDNVIA

Evogliptin is a dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor originally developed for type 2 diabetes that preclinical and early clinical studies suggest may slow the calcification process in aortic valve tissues, potentially delaying stenosis progression.

It is currently under investigation in a Phase II/III adaptive multicenter, double blind, placebo controlled trial (EVOID AS) in patients with mild to moderate calcific aortic stenosis, assessing its efficacy and safety over approximately two years of daily dosing.

Pelacarsen: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Pelacarsen is an investigational antisense oligonucleotide therapy designed to lower high lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels—a genetic risk factor implicated in both cardiovascular disease and calcific aortic valve stenosis. Administered as a subcutaneous injection once monthly, pelacarsen has demonstrated up to 80 % reductions in Lp(a) in early-phase studies and is generally well tolerated

It is currently being evaluated in a Phase II multicenter, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial in patients aged 50–80 with mild to moderate calcific aortic stenosis and elevated Lp(a), aiming to determine whether monthly pelacarsen injections can slow progression of valve calcification and decline in valve function over three years.
