Absence or low individual and public risk
Aortic (valve) insufficiency - what does this mean
Aortic insufficiency is a condition in which the aortic valve does not close properly, allowing blood to flow backward from the aorta into the left ventricle. this backward flow of blood causes an increase in pressure in the left ventricle, leading to an inefficient pumping of blood and an increased risk of heart failure.
What happens during the disease - aortic (valve) insufficiency
Aortic insufficiency is a condition where the aortic valve does not close properly, allowing blood to leak back into the left ventricle during diastole. this causes an increase in pressure in the left ventricle, leading to an increase in the workload of the left ventricle and left atrium, and eventually to left ventricular hypertrophy and left atrial enlargement. over time, this can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain.
