Absence or low individual and public risk
Aortic (valve) stenosis with insufficiency - what does this mean
Aortic (valve) stenosis with insufficiency is a condition in which the aortic valve does not open fully, resulting in reduced blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. this can cause the left ventricle to work harder, leading to an increase in pressure in the left ventricle and a decrease in pressure in the aorta. the aortic valve can also become leaky, allowing blood to flow back from the aorta to the left ventricle, a condition known as aortic insufficiency.
What happens during the disease - aortic (valve) stenosis with insufficiency
Aortic stenosis with insufficiency is a condition in which the aortic valve does not open fully, which restricts the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta, and also allows some of the blood to leak back into the left ventricle. this can be caused by a buildup of calcium deposits on the valve, or by a congenital defect in the valve itself. the buildup of calcium deposits can cause the valve to become stiff and narrow, while the congenital defect can cause the valve to be unable to open and close properly. both of these issues can lead to a decrease in blood flow, which can cause symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the symptoms of aortic stenosis with insufficiency and improve quality of life.
- Prescribe medications to reduce symptoms, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics.
- Refer patient to a cardiac surgeon for further evaluation and possible aortic valve replacement.
- Advise patient to limit physical activity and to avoid activities that increase the workload on the heart.
- Recommend lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and quitting smoking.
- Advise patient to monitor their blood pressure and heart rate regularly.
- Monitor patient's condition and adjust medication dosages as needed.
- Educate patient about the signs and symptoms of aortic stenosis and when to seek medical attention.
17 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Aortic (valve) stenosis with insufficiency - Prevention
The best way to prevent aortic (valve) stenosis with insufficiency is to practice healthy lifestyle habits such as exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. regular check-ups with a doctor to monitor for early signs of the disease are also recommended.
