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 ...

MemorialCare offers advanced, minimally invasive heart treatments like TAVR & MitraClip as alternatives to open-heart surgery ...

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 ...

In 2 patients the severity of the aortic regurgitation also necessitated aortic-valve replacement. In 7 others aortic regurgitation of mild to moderate degree was easily controlled by passage of a ...

Known as Quincke’s sign, this pulsation is caused by aortic regurgitation, also called valve regurgitation. “This means that ...

An innovative, minimally invasive procedure is reducing the risk faced by patients with heart valve disease and improving ...

Narrowing of this valve, known as aortic stenosis, impacts blood flow out of the heart. More than 13% of older adults have aortic stenosis. Aortic regurgitation, on the other hand, is leakiness of ...

When aortic valve stenosis becomes severe, the valve should usually be replaced. Valve insufficiency or regurgitation happens more often in the mitral valve. When a valve leaks, the leaflets don’t ...

45,46 Patients with ascending TAAs can first present with clinical signs of aortic valve regurgitation, or heart failure caused by aortic regurgitation or aortic root dilatation and annular ...

Objective In this study, the impact of regular training on left ventricle morphology in a group of athletes with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV ... athletes with asymptomatic BAV associated with mild ...

We assessed valve function, aortic size and biventricular measures using echocardiography. Individuals with established moderate-severe AV stenosis, regurgitation or significant aortic dilation were ...

The symptoms of aortic valve regurgitation are those predominately of congestive heart failure. As chronic aortic regurgitation develops slowly over time, the left ventricle can easily compensate ...
