Aortic regurgitation is due to disease of aortic valve cusps or dilatation of the aortic root. The left ventricle dilates and hypertrophies to compensate for the regurgitation.
Symptoms-
1. Increased stroke volume.
2. Paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnoea.
3. Peripheral oedema.
4. Angina.
5. Systolic murmur.
6. Heart failure.
7. Tachycardia.
8. Abrupt rise in left ventricle end diastolic pressure.
Investigations-
1. Doppler echocardiography.
2. Chest x-ray.
3. Echocardiography.
4. MRI.
Management-
1. Aortic valve replacement.
2. Aortic root replacement.
3. Coronary bypass surgery.
4. Vasodilating drugs.
