Aortic valve stenosis is a narrowing due to calcium deposits that forces the heart to work harder to move blood to the body.

The drug ataciguat has been tested in early and mid-stage trials of patients with moderate aortic stenosis.

The Mayo Clinic is planning a larger late-stage trial of the drug that could be used to seek regulatory approval.
