Rheumatic aortic insufficiency - what does this mean
Rheumatic aortic insufficiency is a condition caused by inflammation of the aortic valve due to a bacterial infection. this can cause the valve to become weakened or damaged, leading to a decreased ability to close properly and allowing blood to leak back into the left ventricle. this can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue.
What happens during the disease - rheumatic aortic insufficiency
Rheumatic aortic insufficiency is caused by an autoimmune reaction to a bacterial infection, such as streptococcus. this results in inflammation of the heart valves, leading to thickening and calcification of the valve leaflets. this impairs the valve's ability to close properly, resulting in a regurgitation of blood back into the left ventricle, leading to an increased workload on the heart and ultimately, heart failure.
