Regurgitation is blood flow in the opposite direction from normal, as the backward flowing of blood into the heart or between heart chambers. It is the circulatory equivalent of backflow in engineered systems. It is sometimes called reflux, as in abdominojugular reflux. Regurgitation in or near ...
Most common diseases
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
The ability of DM patients to feel acid regurgitation may be decreased. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Here, we report a case of a 43-year-old man who presented with belching, regurgitation, chest tightness and dyspnea for 18 mo, which became gradually more severe. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Abstract The prevalence of the symptoms of reflux (hearthburn and acid regurgitation) and of gastro-esophageal reflux disease is high. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Symptoms: Symptoms of esophagitis include difficulty and pain, while swallowing food, heartburn, chest pain, acid regurgitation and food impaction. [symptoma.com]

Specialty Oncology Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 85% of all lung[…] [en.wikipedia.org]
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
We hypothesized that percutaneous plication of the mitral valve could reduce left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and associated mitral regurgitation, thereby [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In follow-up, the LVOT gradient remained low at 6 /- 14 (p 0.0001) and mitral regurgitation remained insignificant at 0.4 (p 0.0001). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Mild-to-moderate mitral regurgitation was present in 60% of the patients, and severe regurgitation was present in 5%. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Esophageal Achalasia
Regurgitation of food and saliva is another trait of this disease. Affected individuals also describe nocturnal regurgitation that may lead to aspiration. [symptoma.com]
Most patients experience severe dysphagia, and regurgitation can lead to aspiration and respiratory problems. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] report illustrates the salient features of previosuly described achalasia in adults: vague history of asthma with respiratory symptoms of wheezing, obstruction to swallowing, regurgitation [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Aortic Valve Disorder
Hypertension, endocarditis, and congenital defects are all associated with the development of aortic regurgitation. [heart-valve-surgery.com]
Overview What is aortic valve regurgitation? Aortic valve regurgitation is a problem with the aortic valve. [healthlinkbc.ca]
What causes aortic regurgitation? [heart.org]
Pulmonary Edema
There are many causes of unilateral pulmonary edema, but the commonest is the presence of a grade 3 mitral regurgitation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A 25 year old primigravida parturient with severe mitral stenosis, mild mitral regurgitation, mild aortic regurgitation, and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension required [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cardiac conditions are ventricular septal rupture, acute or chronic aortic insufficiency, and acute or chronic mitral regurgitation. [emedicine.com]
Aortic Stenosis with Bicuspid Valve
Overview Aortic valve regurgitation — or aortic regurgitation — is a condition that occurs when your heart's aortic valve doesn't close tightly. [mayoclinic.org]
Pregnancy If the aortic stenosis or regurgitation is mild, you are more likely to handle pregnancy well. [singhealth.com.sg]
Bicuspid valves have a tendency to develop either narrowing (“stenosis”) or leakiness (“regurgitation”). [pediatricheartspecialists.com]
Right-Sided Heart Failure
After treatment of hyperthyroidism there was complete resolution of the right heart failure, tricuspid regurgitation, and the pulmonary hypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Ebstein anomaly is a common congenital heart disease that may induce severe tricuspid regurgitation and dilation of the "atrialized" portion of the right ventricle. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Functional mitral regurgitation is common in dilated cardiomyopathy and up to 50% of symptomatic heart failure patients with severe regurgitation are not treated due to the [austinpublishinggroup.com]
