Rheumatic aortic stenosis with insufficiency - what does this mean
Rheumatic aortic stenosis with insufficiency is a condition caused by long-term inflammation of the aortic valve, resulting in its narrowing and weakening, which impairs the heart's ability to pump enough blood to the body. this can lead to reduced blood flow to the organs, resulting in symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, and palpitations.
What happens during the disease - rheumatic aortic stenosis with insufficiency
Rheumatic aortic stenosis with insufficiency is a condition caused by a rheumatic fever-induced inflammatory process in the aortic valve. this inflammation leads to thickening and calcification of the valve leaflets, resulting in a narrowing of the valve opening and an inability of the valve to close properly. this causes a decrease in the amount of blood that can flow through the valve, leading to an increase in pressure in the left ventricle and a decrease in the amount of blood that can flow back into the left atrium, resulting in an insufficiency of the aortic valve.
