Your heart has four chambers, each with a valve that allows blood to exit. Healthy valves open wide to let blood move freely through the heart and body. They then shut tightly until the next heartbeat ...

Aortic valve insufficiency, also called aortic regurgitation, happens when the aortic valve doesn’t fully close, causing blood to flow backward into the left ventricle. This forces your heart to work ...

Your aortic valve is part of your heart, a strong muscle that pumps blood through your body. The aortic valve controls the blood flowing out from the heart. It opens every time your heart contracts, ...

People with ankylosing spondylitis may be at an increased risk of developing some types of heart disease, including aortic regurgitation. Aortic regurgitation, or aortic insufficiency, is ...

The FDA approved the Trilogy Transcatheter Heart Valve System for the treatment of symptomatic severe aortic regurgitation, device maker JenaValve Technology announced. This approval makes Trilogy the ...

Asymptomatic women with moderate-to-severe aortic regurgitation and preserved left ventricular (LV) function managed without surgery had lower survival rates than their male counterparts, although ...

WASHINGTON — A phase 3 randomized trial will soon begin for the first transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) device for the treatment of aortic valve regurgitation after promising results in a ...

Aortic regurgitation occurs when blood leaks back into the left ventricle due to a leaky aortic valve. This is a type of valve disease in the heart. Aortic regurgitation can lead to some heart damage ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

Aortic insufficiency occurs when your aortic valve fails to close properly once the blood enters the aorta. This causes blood to flow the wrong way back into the heart. When the left ventricle doesn’t ...

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 pathologic ...
