 | | In the case of severe acute aortic insufficiency, all individuals should undergo surgery if there are no absolute contraindications for surgery. | | | In aortic insufficiency, when the pressure in the left ventricle falls below the pressure in the aorta, the aortic valve is not able to completely close. | | | The surgical treatment of choice at this time is an aortic valve replacement. |

| | Aortic valve replacement, with or without associated coronary bypass surgery for obstructive CAD, can be performed at many surgical centers with an operative mortality of 5 percent or less. | | | Aortic valve prolapse occurs in 2 % of patients with mitral valve prolapse(MVP).The primary form of MVP may occur in families,where it appears to be inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with varying penetrance. | | | Although.the issue is controversial in some countries,we believe that patients who are in NYHA functional class 1 (asymptomatc) and have a reduced ejection fraction at rest should be offered aortic valve replacement. |

| | Aortic insufficiency is usually corrected by having the defective valve surgically replaced. | | | A chest x ray, an electrocardiogram (ECG, an electrical printout of the heart beats), as well as an echocardiogram (a test that uses sound waves to create an image of the heart and its valves), can further evaluate or confirm the condition. | | | With each contraction of the heart more and more blood flows back into the left ventricle, causing the ventricle to become overfilled. |

| | Even if the patient has no symptoms and no signs of cardiac decompensation, valve replacement should be carried out because the results are excellent and relief of volume overload will prevent the development of irreversible ventricular dysfunction. | | | Patients who present with angina pectoris will more likely have cardiac catheterization and coronary angiography as an early diagnostic procedure. | | | The indications for surgery in aortic regurgitation are somewhat controversial. |

| | It should be noted, however, that this approach only shows satisfactory correlation in patients with severe (3+ to 4+) angiographic aortic insufficiency. | | | The operator should keep in mind some possible causes for false positive or false negative examinations when evaluating patients with suspected aortic insufficiency. | | | Although coronary flow is mostly diastolic and the size of the Doppler beam is usually large at remote distances from the transducer, it seems unlikely that this is a very frequent cause of false positives in clinical practice. |

| | Deciding the appropriateness of surgical intervention may be difficult in a patient who has the immediate risk of surgical intervention with aortic valve replacement and risk of hemodynamic collapse without surgical intervention. | | | Autograft valve degeneration was not affected by the technique of insertion (141 root replacement, 37 intra-aortic), aortic valve morphology (157 bicuspid or unicuspid, 26 tricuspid), or age at operation. | | | In symptomatic patients, surgical intervention is a more acceptable approach than attempting long-term medical therapy. |

| | Antibiotic prophylaxis for prevention of aortic valve endocarditis is an important part of continuing medical care of patients with significant AR. | | | In surgical literature, up to 20% of all aortic valve surgeries are performed because of pure AR; however, aortic stenosis remains the most frequent indication for aortic valve replacement (AVR). | | | This leads to an acute decrease in forward stroke volume, and, although tachycardia develops as a compensatory mechanism to maintain cardiac output, this often is insufficient. |

| | As a consequence of the compensatory mechanism systolic pressure is increased but the diastolic pressure decreases widening the pulse pressure. | | | AI also increases myocardial oxygen consumption, since the myocardial blood flow occurs during diastole and the aortic valve is insufficient the blood flow through the coronaries is reduced. | | | Aortic Stenosis (AS) may present as well if AI has been present for some time. |

| | This is due to the inability of the heart to compensate for the extra requirement of blood to the tissues during exercise, vasodilation occurs as a result of the exercise and the blood pressure therefore drops in the systemic and cerebral circulation. | | | valve disease can be classified into stenosis, chronic and acute insufficiency. | | | though an aortic aneurysm may also result in acute aortic valve insufficiency. |

| | The so-called intermittent double murmur which occurs in certain cases, is a different murmur and our study will concern it. | | | The reflux of blood explains some of the symptoms occurring in aortic insufficiency and explains the sudden death which is occasionally observed. | | | The secondary murmurs which can be produced by lesions of the pericardium, by mitral stenosis, tricuspid stenosis, by pulmonary insufficiency, can be differentiated from the murmur of aortic insufficiency with the help of the double murmur over the femoral arteries, which exists only in the latter condition. |
