reduced aortic valve chamber

Treccani says of 'box': Ciascuno dei compartimenti, ottenuti dalla suddivisione di un vasto ambiente, delimitati da diaframmi sporgenti trasversalmente dalle pareti (in magazzini e officine per una più pratica divisione del lavoro e una migliore classificazione di oggetti; in sale d’esposizione, caffè, ristoranti, per dare maggiore senso di intimità e isolamento; nei negozî di vendita di dischi per l’ascolto di prova da parte di singoli clienti, ecc.); talora, anche, singola cabina, con pareti in legno, metallo o vetro: il b. del telefono, il b. della doccia.
No mention of cardiac associated meanings. It is probably talking about stenosis of the aortic valves. Good illustration in site below showing how it may seem to be a type of box or chamber. Maybe someone with more specific knowledge will give a better answer than mine.
