It is vital that patients with quadricuspid aortic valve who present with progressive aortic regurgitation undergo valve replacement or repair at appropriate time. Here, we present two cases of quadricuspid aortic valve. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]

Cardiomegaly is present in patients with chronic AR. In acute AR, pulmonary edema is almost universally present. If the AR is due to an aortic dissection, the mediastinum may appear widened. [healio.com]

• Fatigue

  Mitral stenosis — limits blood flowing into the left ventricle of the heart, and can cause symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath. [sutterhealth.org]

  See your doctor if you have fatigue, shortness of breath, and swollen ankles and feet, which are common symptoms of heart failure. Causes Your heart has four valves that keep blood flowing in the correct direction. [mayoclinic.org]

  Symptoms can include fatigue, fainting, shortness of breath, palpitations (sensation of the heart beating), and swelling of the feet, legs, or abdomen. [uabmedicine.org]

  Symptoms of BAV, caused by an aortic valve that leaks or does not open completely, include: Trouble breathing Chest pain or pressure Fatigue Heart racing Light-headedness Fainting Less than five percent of people with BAV will develop complications from [nm.org]

• Asymptomatic

  Timing of AVR in asymptomatic patients weighs risks of surgery against risk of disease progression. [clinicaladvisor.com]

  History Part I: Pattern Recognition One method of classifying patients with AR is to assign them to one of three categories: asymptomatic patients with normal LV function; asymptomatic patients with depressed systolic function; and symptomatic patients [thecardiologyadvisor.com]

  The asymptomatic patient who has moderate to severe aortic regurgitation may not have symptoms for many years. In seven studies, 1 – 7 490 asymptomatic patients with moderate to severe aortic regurgitation were followed for a mean of 6.4 years. [aafp.org]

  The other three patients were asymptomatic at last follow-up at age 8, 10 and 20 years, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Supportive management is recommended until it becomes necessary to intervene surgically when regurgitation becomes severe. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The second patient is a 20-year-old asymptomatic boy who has been closely followed up and has not received any surgical treatment. [cardiothoracicsurgery.biomedcentral.com]

• Congestive Heart Failure

  If not repaired or placed, a severely regurgitant valve can lead to congestive heart failure. Symptoms of congestive heart failure include swollen ankles and feet, fatigue, chest pain and shortness of breath. [sutterhealth.org]

  Once they occur, the aortic regurgitation symptoms are mostly from congestive heart failure. Left heart failure results in symptoms related to low cardiac output. [healio.com]

  Surgery can cure aortic insufficiency and relieve symptoms, unless you develop heart failure or other complications. People with angina or congestive heart failure due to aortic regurgitation do poorly without treatment. [medlineplus.gov]

  Auscultation of breath sounds may reveal fine crackles (rales) if pulmonary congestion is present from left-sided heart failure. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Heart Murmur

  The main sign of heart valve disease is an unusual heartbeat sound called a heart murmur. Your doctor can hear a heart murmur with a stethoscope. But many people have heart murmurs without having a problem. [icdlist.com]

  At CHOP's Cardiac Center, we usually diagnose aortic regurgitation after a primary care doctor detects a heart murmur and refers a child to us. [chop.edu]

  An early indicator of BAV is a heart murmur, which is an abnormal sound caused by the turbulent flow of blood over a diseased heart valve. [nm.org]

  Most commonly, however, late-developing DSVAS is recognized because of a heart murmur before symptoms are recognized. [pted.org]

• Left Ventricular Dysfunction

  The need for surgical treatment is indicated by the appearance of a diastolic thrill, left ventricular strain on the electrocardiogram or other evidence of left ventricular dysfunction on the echocardiogram or exercise stress testing by treadmill or radionuclide [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  left ventricular dysfunction is less than 6 percent per year. [aafp.org]

  AVR should be elected after there is evidence of left ventricular dysfunction or the onset of symptoms. [thecardiologyadvisor.com]

  Asymptomatic patients should also be operated on when left ventricular function begins to deteriorate, since the likelihood of developing irreversible myocardial dysfunction is high if intervention is delayed. [patient.info]

• Diastolic Murmur

  Finally, a third murmur, known as an Austin Flint murmur, may be detected. This is a soft, rumbling, low-pitched, late diastolic murmur which is heard best at the apex. [med.ucla.edu]

  Auscultation reveals an S3 and a high-pitched, decrescendo early diastolic murmur. Another characteristic diagnostic finding is widened pulse pressure. [amboss.com]

  A high pulmonary artery pressure may cause a diastolic pulmonary regurgitation murmur (Graham Steel). Like the diastolic murmur of AR, this murmur is high-pitched along the left sternal border. [clinicaladvisor.com]

  Presentation See also the separate Heart Auscultation, Heart Murmurs in Children and Pulse Examination articles. AR is diagnosed by the presence of a characteristic diastolic murmur, exaggerated arterial pulsations and low diastolic pressure. [patient.info]

Prognosis and Patient Counseling. Prognosis The long-term prognosis of chronic AR depends on the severity of the regurgitation and the presence of left ventricular dysfunction. [clinicaladvisor.com]
