Ans:
A, B, D

Feedback:

Because of the slow onset of aortic valve stenosis, the heart is able to compensate by hypertrophying and may still maintain a normal chamber volume and ejection fraction. As the stenosis progresses, the patient will experience classic symptoms of angina, syncope, heart failure, and decrease in exercise tolerance or exertional dyspnea. Palpitations and heartburn are not usually noted with aortic stenosis.
