DysfunctionResultsAneurysmInfective endocarditis
Dysfunction2
  • A normally functioning valve permits normal physiology and dysfunction of the valve results in left ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure. (wikipedia.org)
  • Opening angles on CT differ according to the type of valve dysfunction and a decreased opening angle may suggest an elevated PG. (elsevierpure.com)
Results3
  • Abrupt loss of function of the aortic valve results in acute aortic insufficiency and loss in the normal diastolic blood pressure resulting in a wide pulse pressure and bounding pulses. (wikipedia.org)
  • Slowly worsening aortic insufficiency results in a chronic insufficiency which permits the heart to compensate (unlike acute insufficiency). (wikipedia.org)
  • Inadequate opening of the aortic valve, often through calcification, results in higher flow velocities through the valve and larger pressure gradients. (wikipedia.org)
Aneurysm1
Infective endocarditis1
  • Common causes of aortic regurgitation include vasodilation of the aorta, previous rheumatic fever, infection such as infective endocarditis, degeneration of the aortic valve, and Marfan's syndrome. (wikipedia.org)
