About
Aortic Stenosis is a common but fatal disease when it becomes symptomatic, specially if not treated. Until now surgery remains the only reliable and effective treatment.
In this study, the investigators will examine the effect of high dose of Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) supplementation (1000 mcg)/day on the progression of the aortic valve disease. The investigators hypothesize that MK-7 supplementation may slow or even reverse the progression of the disease process.
