Aortic regurgitation

Aortic Regurgitation
Aortic regurgitation is where blood leaks back through the aortic valve as the valve does not close properly. With each heartbeat, more blood than usual enters the left ventricle and so it needs to work harder.

Aortic regurgitation is a condition in which blood flows backwards into the left side of the heart through the aortic valve. The aortic valve is a flap-like opening located between the left side of the heart and the aorta.

Echocardiography, either transthoracic or transoesophageal, is the most frequently employed technique for the diagnosis and assessment of the severity of aortic Regurgitation: Back-flow, e.g.

Aortic Regurgitation
Aortic Regurgitation is a disease of the aortic valve, that usually stops blood from re-entering the heart once it has been pumped out.

Aortic regurgitation can develop suddenly or over decades. It has a variety of causes, such as rheumatic fever. Once regurgitation becomes severe, surgery is usually required to repair or replace the aortic valve.

aortic regurgitation - backwards leakage of blood from the aorta, through a weakened aortic valve, and into the left ventricle, resulting in stress in the left heart and inadequate blood flow to the body.

Aortic regurgitation may accompany AS, and about 60% of patients > 60 yr with significant AS also have mitral annular calcification, which may lead to significant mitral regurgitation.

Aortic regurgitation results when the valve fails to close properly. People who develop this condition may become short of breath when exerting themselves.

Living With Aortic Regurgitation
Having aortic valve regurgitation means your heart is working overtime to keep up with your body's needs. So your doctor will probably recommend specific lifestyle changes to decrease your heart's workload.

Aortic regurgitation - the aortic valve separates the aorta (main artery of the body) from the left ventricle. Aortic regurgitation means the aortic valve doesn't close properly, allowing blood to backtrack into the ventricle.

People who have a bicuspid valve are also more likely than other people to get an infection (infective endocarditis) that can cause the aortic valve to become leaky (aortic regurgitation) as well as narrow.

harder to make up for the leaky valve, and less blood may flow to the rest of the body. Depending on which valve is affected, the conditioned is called tricuspid regurgitation, pulmonary regurgitation, mitral regurgitation or aortic regurgitation.

This most frequently causes aortic stenosis, but may also cause aortic regurgitation. This is the most common cause of aortic stenosis in people over the age of 65.
