Yes marijuana increases the work on heart by increasing the heart rate which means your heart beats more number time every minute. Since you have aortic valve stenosis which already limits heart from pumping blood to the periphery ( for oxygen utilisation) , an addition of marijuana will further worsen your symptoms over the period of time.
Next Steps
Take help of the psychiatrist if you are not able to quit it on your own. Good luck.
