aortic regurgitation

n. The backward flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle caused by incompetent closure of the aortic valve. Also called aortic insufficiency.

aortic insufficiency

The reflow of blood back from the aorta into the left ventricle due to incompetency of the aortic valve.

Clinical findings
Dyspnoea on exertion, orthopnea, fatigue, ± angina, increased pulse pressure, systolic hypertension with increased afterload on left ventricle.

Aetiology
Congenital or acquired valve defect of either the aortic leaflets (infectious endocarditis, rheumatic fever) or the aortic root (annuloaortic ectasia, Marfan syndrome, aortic dissection, collagen vascular disease, syphilis).

Examination
Increased pulse pressure (Corrigan’s pulse, Hill sign, Musset sign, Quincke’s pulse), systolic murmur, diastolic rumble (Austin Flint murmur over cardiac apex).

Workup
Doppler echocardiography to estimate severity of AR, confirmed by aortography.

Management
Early valve replacement surgery, guided by the ‘55 rule’—i.e., performed when the ejection fraction is < 55% and/or the end-systolic dimension = 55 mm.

aortic regurgitation

Abnormal back flow of blood from the aorta through the aortic valve. In developing countries the valvular defect is mainly due to as complication of rheumatic fever; in Western countries the defect is usually congenital.
