If you have aortic regurgitation, the flaps around your aortic valve — the valve that pumps blood to your heart — don’t close fully. This causes blood to leak back into your left heart chamber.

Find out why staging TAVI and PCI lowers risk in complex heart cases - read the latest insights from the ASCoP registry.

Researchers have developed cutting-edge MRI technology to diagnose a common heart problem more quickly and accurately than ever before. Aortic stenosis is a progressive and potentially fatal condition ...

Debbie Hillwig was facing her second heart surgery in seven years. The first surgery to replace her aortic valve required ...

The heart valve can calcify and cause narrowing of the valve which is called stenosis. Stenosis happens most often in the aortic valve, but can occur in any of the heart’s four valves. When a healthy ...

University of East Anglia scientists have developed cutting-edge MRI technology to diagnose a common heart problem more quickly and accurately than ever before.

The split is due to the significantly delayed closure of the aortic valve resulting from the increased time needed to complete LV systole; for more on splitting of S2, see Heart Sounds Topic Review.

Before your blood gets pumped out of your heart to circulate through the body, it must pass through the aortic valve. If the aortic valve becomes narrowed or hardened, the condition known as ...

The nitric oxide-independent soluble guanylate cyclase activator ataciguat continued to show promise for slowing the progression of fibrocalcific aortic valve stenosis in phase I and II studies.

may occur due to damage to the aortic valve leaflets or as a result of dilation of the aortic annulus. As the disease progresses, symptoms of heart failure eventually occur. The definitive ...
