Aortic valve insufficiency treatment

Aortic valve insufficiency is a defect in the aortic valve that does not close completely. This pathology causes regurgitation — some of the blood returns back to the ventricle.

Inflammation is the most common cause of valve leaflet damage. Bacterial inflammation or rheumatism changes the structure of the leaflets and causes valve failure.

Diagnostics: chest x-ray, ECG, echocardiogram, cardiac catheterization.

With a severe degree of insufficiency and the absence of proper treatment, the backflow of blood leads to an overload of the heart. In this case, surgical valve replacement, reconstruction, or prosthetics are required.
