Which outcome follows increased flow velocity through an aortic stenosis?

💡 Explanation

Increased velocity passing through a stenosis transforms laminar flow to turbulent flow, because the inertial forces overwhelm the viscous forces, leading to higher Reynolds number and transition caused by turbulent kinetic energy dissipation. Therefore, energy will be lost to turbulence rather than other effects.
