Aortic insufficiency?

summary

Aortic regurgitation refers to the failure of any one of the factors in aortic ring, aortic sinus, aortic leaflet, valvular junction and aortic sinus junction, which leads to the poor closure of aortic leaflet during diastolic period. The size of left ventricular chamber and the function of left ventricle are still the main influencing factors of late curative effect after aortic regurgitation. Let me talk about the symptoms of aortic insufficiency.

Aortic insufficiency?

A few patients have dizziness, syncope, angina or sudden death. In moderate and severe stenosis, diastolic blood pressure decreased and pulse pressure widened, and there may be obvious peripheral vascular sign at this time. Apical pulsation was uplifting and diffuse

Diastolic tremor was palpable on the left edge of sternum, and the cardiac boundary was enlarged to the left and down. The first heart sound is usually soft, the second heart sound may disappear or present a single heart sound, and the early systolic ejection sound can be heard in the aortic valve area. Diastolic murmur could be heard in the third to fourth intercostal space of the left sternum and transmitted to the apical region. In some cases, diastolic murmur could be heard in the apical region.

Mild to moderate patients have no obvious symptoms, severe patients feel palpitation, left lateral position is easy to produce left chest discomfort. Left heart failure can feel fatigue, dyspnea, or acute pulmonary edema, the development of the disease can lead to right heart failure.

matters needing attention

Patients must avoid excessive physical labor and strenuous exercise, limit sodium intake, use digitalis drugs, diuretics and vasodilators, especially angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, help to prevent the deterioration of heart function.
