There was no clinical evidence of dynamic aortic insufficiency in any of the 10 subjects; the diastolic blood pressures were greater than 60 mm. of mercury in each case, and the peripheral pulses ...

Aortic regurgitation occurs when blood flows retrograde (backwards) across the aortic valve from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. This abnormal backflow of blood leads to patholo ...

There was free aortic regurgitation because of dilatation of the valvular annulus; the cusps themselves were not deformed. The valve was excised and a No. 9 Starr-Edwards valve inserted.

Medically reviewed by Rafle Fernandez, MD Valvular heart disease, sometimes called heart valve disease, is when one or more ...

Surgery to replace an aortic valve is done for aortic valve stenosis and aortic valve regurgitation. During this surgery, the damaged valve is removed and replaced with an artificial valve. The valve ...

TAVI for pure aortic regurgitation (AR) — in which a damaged valve becomes ‘leaky’ — has remained a major challenge even since TAVI was developed. “In pure AR patients, there is no ...

In TAV athletes, the aortic and left ventricle dimensions did not increase ... effect on cardiac morphology in athletes with asymptomatic BAV associated with mild regurgitation, for at least 5 years.

The ECG in patients with aortic regurgitation is non-specific and may show LVH and left atrial enlargement. In acute aortic regurgitation, sinus tachycardia due to the increased sympathetic ...
