Answers:
my daughter was born with aortic valve stenosis and has just had the Ross procedure done!.
She loves fast rides and she specifically asked her cardiologist about this: he said she could go on fast rides as her heart is ok at the moment and he thinks rides should only be avoided with conditions that effect the electrical functioning of the heart!.

Please don't take my answer as conformation though!. The safest thing to do would be to ask your sons cardiologist!.

Although data are lacking, it is reasonable to specifically caution patients with genetic cardiovascular diseases (GCVD), against amusement park rides (e!.g!., roller coasters and thrill-related or frightening rides) because these are associated with intense stress and emotion due to sudden acceleration in heart rate and abrupt changes in centrifugal or centripetal forces!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My son was born with this and has now had his valve replaced!. We asked the same question and his cardiologist advised against it!. Luckily he's not really bothered about them anyway!.
Speak to his cardiologist as everyone is different and I guess it probably depends on the severity of itWww@Answer-Health@Com

My son has Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome, and has been okay'd to ride all ride except those which go upside-down, and anti-gravity rides!.!.!.

All kids are different though, and you should ask your son's Cardiologist about his specific condition and restrictions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Aortic stenosis can vary from mild to severe, contact your doctor who can advise you, although presuming your son has never been advised not to exert himself and doesn't get chest pain or dizzy spells it should be fineWww@Answer-Health@Com

All cases differ greatly, best to consult your GP as he should know exact details etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
