Aortic valve disorder, unspecified - what does this mean
Aortic valve disorder, unspecified, occurs when the aortic valve, which is responsible for controlling the flow of blood from the heart to the rest of the body, malfunctions. this malfunction can lead to a narrowing of the valve or a leakage of blood back into the heart, both of which can lead to decreased blood flow and other complications.
What happens during the disease - aortic valve disorder, unspecified
Aortic valve disorder, unspecified, is a condition in which the aortic valve does not open or close properly, resulting in the impaired flow of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including calcification of the aortic valve, congenital defects, inflammation, or infection. these factors can cause the valve to become thickened, narrowed, or regurgitant, leading to a decrease in the amount of blood flow to the body and an increase in pressure in the left ventricle. this can lead to symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To improve the functioning of the aortic valve and to reduce symptoms associated with the disorder.
- Medications to reduce symptoms and lower blood pressure
- Lifestyle changes such as reducing sodium intake and quitting smoking
- Regular exercise to improve overall cardiovascular health
- Surgery to repair or replace the aortic valve
- Regular monitoring of the heart with tests such as echocardiograms and electrocardiograms
