DEFINITION
• AORTIC INSUFFICIENCY, A FORM OF VALVULAR HEART DISEASE, OCCURS WHEN THE AORTIC VALVE OF THE
HEART LEAKS AND CAUSES BLOOD TO FLOW IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. ASA RESULT, THE HEART CANNOT
PUMP EFFICIENTLY, CAUSING SYMPTOMS LIKE FATIGUE AND SHORTNESS OFBREATH. IT’S POSSIBLE TO
HAVE AORTIC INSUFFICIENCY FOR MANY YEARS SHOWING NO SYMPTOMS. ITCAN ALSO DEVELOP RATHER
SUDDENLY
CAUSES
• THE AORTIC VALVE, ONE OF FOUR VALVES WITHIN THE HEART, CONTROLSTHE FLOW OF BLOOD BETWEEN
THE LEFT VENTRICLE AND THE AORTA, THE MAIN ARTERY THAT CARRIES OXYGENATED BLOOD THROUGH
THE BODY. THE AORTIC VALVE OPENS TO ALLOW BLOOD TO FLOW INTO THEAORTA AND THEN CLOSES TO
PREVENT BLOOD FROM FLOWING BACK INTO THE LEFT VENTRICLE. IN AORTIC INSUFFICIENCY, THE THREE
FLAPS OF THE AORTIC VALVE, CALLED LEAFLETS, DO NOT CLOSE TIGHTLY, ALLOWING BLOOD TO LEAK BACK
INTO THE HEART. THIS CAUSES A DECREASE IN BLOOD PRESSURE IN THEAORTA, AN INCREASE IN PULSE
PRESSURE, AND A DECREASED FORWARD FLOW OF BLOOD. THIS IS ALSO COMMONLY KNOWN AS AORTIC
REGURGITATION.
SIGNS & SYMPTOMS
PATIENTS WITH AORTIC INSUFFICIENCY CAN EXPERIENCE SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF HEART
FAILURE, INCLUDING:
1. SHORTNESS OF BREATH UPON EXERTION OR WHEN LYING FLAT
2. COUGHING AND SHORTNESS OF BREATH AT NIGHT
3. RAPID, FLUTTERING HEARTBEAT (PALPITATIONS)
4. ANGINA (CHEST PAIN)
5. SWELLING OF LEGS AND FEET
TREATMENTS
• AORTIC INSUFFICIENCY CAN BE TREATED MEDICALLY OR SURGICALLY, DEPENDING ON YOUR SYMPTOMS
AND THE SEVERITY OF YOUR CONDITION. IN SOME CASES, YOUR DOCTOR MAY SIMPLY RECOMMEND
LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO KEEP YOUR HEART HEALTHY AND MEDICATIONS, ASAN ADDITIONAL SUPPLEMENT,
TO PREVENT COMPLICATIONS.
• AORTIC VALVE, SURGEONS MAY SEPARATE VALVE FLAPS (CUSPS) THAT HAVE FUSED, RESHAPE OR
REMOVE EXCESS VALVE TISSUE SO THAT THE CUSPS CAN CLOSE TIGHTLY,OR PATCH HOLES IN A VALVE.

YOU
