Aortic Regurgitation (Insufficiency) Explained Clearly

[@Kennnected]

used this one to present infront of my classmates about what aortic regurgitation is all about. thanks so much!

[@coolbluelights]

I had aortic regurgitation due to a bicuspid aortic valve. I had every one of those symptoms you mentioned. I always wondered why my BP was so "out of whack". it often ran around 130/50. Had my valve replaced last year and feeling great now!

[@friedchickenguy]

I've also got the same situation, but I'm still asymptomatic, so no replacement...yet. What type of valve replacement did you receive? And how's it going? Thanks for the info!

[@alexboobies69]

hey bro, i also have a bicuspid valve and am awaiting a valve replacement surgery, and i currently feel an abundance of sympotoms Will i feel better afterwards?

[@coolbluelights]

@@alexboobies69 Yes you absolutely will!

[@Artydoc]

The problem with medicine is not that you dont understand stuff but you dont actually remember what you read.But after watching this video I am sure gonna remember it for the rest of my life.Please put some Neurology videos as well.You are a great help.Keep up the good work.

Thanks for this excellent video. Finally got an explanation for my sometimes bobbing head! I'm up for surgery in two months and really this is the first time I really understood how this works and what's going on.

[@athenaky8555]

I am not in the medical field, I am a retired home remodeling carpenter, but this morning I woke up hearing the word in my Spirit, "Ken-Valve". I did some research and found that a Ken-valve is an artificial heart valve used to treat Aortic Regurgitation. Learn something new every day.

Very nice, simple, meaningful, and very clear description of the disease. Thank You.

[@dutchkanaka]

Wow, your illustrations and explanations are helping me for my upcoming angiogram and upcoming aortic heart valve replacement/repair for my aortic regurgitation in April. Mahalo for your presentation! :)

[@ulwur]

How did your procedure go? I'm up for the same thing this after the summer and I'm trying to learn about it.

[@dutchkanaka]

Aloha! Hmmmm, there's not enough space and time to explain everything here. How to prepare: - If you're a smoker or drink alcohol, stop soon. - Be in good physical condition. How the procedure goes: - You may have to trim all of your body hair. Yeah, not fun, but it cuts down on bacteria. DO NOT shave body hair. Instead, trim very short...everywhere. Sorry, odd to hear... - You're under anesthesia, so you won't feel a thing. What's post-op like: - Painful. Sorry! :( What a nurse told me, "if you're in pain, you're not healing." So, take your pain meds!!! - Follow the medical advice of your doctors/nurses. They know their craft, so don't be the hero and think you know better. - Slow process. Eat properly. Use your incentive spirometer often. I hope that helps! Good luck @Ibrahim! :)

[@basildabbah296]

the definition of austin flint has recently changed its now believed that its caused by the regurgitant jet of blood abutting against the left ventricular endocardium...

[@josephthomas2237]

Thank you for your wonderful classes. Could you please take a class on Mitral Insufficiency??

[@lizgoldstein4256]

I have a mild case of aortic regurgitation due to endocarditis when I was 6. I’m 34 now and my cardiologist always calls it a “beauty mistake”, because there is very little regurgitation, my blood pressure is 110/77, usually, but I also exercise. Thank you for this comprehensive video - I was wondering if the term “insufficiency” means that we’re dealing with a progressing disease?

[@McPaulish]

Minor point but I think he meant "Left Heart Cath" at 12:33 because the catheter is going up the artery into the aorta, not right.

[@Lophotrochozoans]

This was really helpful! However, can you elaborate more on the decreased diastolic blood pressure during diastole(4:26)? I am having trouble connecting the two. Thank you!

[@ummelailamirza8968]

Me too

[@mohamadb8294]

thanks a lot for your clearly information. I just wan to explain one thing. you mentioned that in {corrigans sign} heard pistol shut but I think in Traubers sign we hear pistul shut. thanks again

[@ChurchWardenofEddy]

Fascinating. I've had AI for a number of years that has recently been determined to be severe. One surgeon used the phrase "water hammer pulse." Is that the same as the Austin Fink pulse? Also, my surgeon is suggesting that he will first try to repair my aortic valve before resulting to a mechanical valve. I'm only 44 so the idea of blood thinners indefinitely is less than ideal. Could you direct me to a video or resource that might help me better understand what aortic valve reconstruction might look like?

[@Medcram]

+ChurchWardenofEddy Austin Flint is when the back jet of the aortic regurg actually closes (or nearly closes) the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve causeing a sort of mitral stenosis. A water hammer pulse is different - it causes your systolic blood pressure to be high and your diastolic blood pressure to be low - so your head bobs with each beat. - sort of.

[@docso271]

water hammer pulse is collapsing pulse

[@delroy900]

Great Video!!!!... quick question, in the begining you said a decrease in Diastolic BP will also cause a decrease in coronary artery profusion pressure leading to angina. And later you said Beta blockers should not be used coz they slow down the heart. The question is, isnt that what we want so we actually increase chances of coronary profusion at diastole and reverse chances of angina?

[@scokim]

see the explanation at 7:00

[@saimikhan8470]

By adding beta blockers it will cause bradycardia, increase diastolic filling time, & will increase more regurgitation volume and LVEdp..

[@drsweety8289]

[@AhmedSadawi]

Great video; Isn't pulse pressure = Systolic-diastolic? Is loop diuretics recommended for AR?

[@TheAmmorna]

the pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure

[@keshab644]

wow great presentation , thanks so much

[@markbahner7223]

An excellent presentation. Is there some reason for recommending loop diuretics versus thiazide diuretics?

[@dr.abhijitmahajan3701]

very well explained.

[@albertochiandetti9477]

Can someone explain to me why there is a decrease of diastolic blood pressure? Thanks.

[@PaulOBrienChina]

Paul O'Brien2 seconds ago i am having trouble with it too but i came to this conclusion.....i guess you are mixing up pressure in the heart with what diastolic pressure means.... diastolic pressure is a measure of blood pressure in the vasculature (not pressure in the heart) when the heart is relaxing (diastole), if blood is going back into the heart during diastole then there would be less volume in the vasculature so a decreased pressure....its easy to confuse when you are focusing just on the heart but remember diastolic pressure still refers to the pressure in the vasculature , the backflow would increase lvedv which would then contribute to extra blood in systemic circulation during systole as shown by the increased systolic, high systolic minus low diastolic = widened pulse pressure, is this right ?

[@poloyede]

Thanks for your videos! You mentioned doing a right side cath, shouldn't it be left side?

I have mild to moderate regurgitation. Do I need to see a cardiologist? My dad had heart disease

[@yaseermollabux7658]

Hi I have a Aortic stenosis and it was repaired in 2008 and now the doctor says that I have a moderate to severe aortic regurgation. I was wondering if I still suffer from aortic stenosis as the valve has not been replaced. I am 14 and the doctor says surgery is likely I was just wondering when and if I still have aortic stenosis and the doctor says I have borderline left hypertrophy and fractional shortening of 49 percent and peak flow velocity in ascending aorta aorta was over 3m/s also there was important aortic regurgitation. There are two regurgitant jets the most important of these at the anterior aortic valve commissure there was pandiastolic reverse flow in aortic arch and abdominal aorta.i experience chest pain from time to time and sometimes fell my heart beating very fast.i also get lots of pins and needles and cramps. Please shed some light on if I still have aortic stenosis or if the repair in 2008 got rid of it and how and when my regurgitation will be treated

[@yaseermollabux7658]

And he says I have moderate border lining severe aortic regurgitation please shed some light it would be much appreciated

[@dranandvarunachari]

It's an amazing explanation ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@danaghazaleh9117]

Perfect illustration :)

[@sifar1111]

what I think ....Angina cause is lower CPP i.e Aortic DBP - LVEDP (low DBP and high LVEDP) also, LVHypertrophy - his requirement

[@fathimanajla4018]

How does aortic regurgitation occur in aortic dissection?? Use of iv beta blocker is the first line of treatment in that case!! This is controversial for AR mgt ! Pls explain Thanks a lot for the vedio

[@connieaspili]

Great lecture!!!thanks.

[@zevallison9130]

Thanks so much for these videos! I just started cardiology research, and I have a few questions.My father had a congenital bicuspid valve, causing aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation. However, based on these videos it seems that these two conditions have opposite symptoms sometimes. For example, PP for regurgitation patients increases but it decreases for stenosis patients. How does this present in the clinic? Is aortic regurgitation an inability to close and aortic stenosis an inability to open? Are these two conditions only found together in bicuspid patients?Finally, at 12:50, you said that a cardiologist performs a right-heart cath to analyze the regurgitation volume. Did you meant a left-heart cath? That's what's needed to access the aorta, isn't it?Thanks so much!

[@Medcram]

+Zev Allison Your are right - it's a left heart cath - a ventriculogram. You are also right that the symptoms will be a mix if a patient has both stenosis and regurgitation.

[@aditikomandur9625]

[@mourilshah2054]

Can anyone explain me about diastolic blood pressure ?? I'm very confused Diastole means the period between 2 heart beats where heart is not ejecting the blood but here during regurgitation the blood flows back into ventricle which will lead to increase in pressure,right ?? So why does Diastolic blood pressure decrease during regurgitation Someone please explain me

[@thetomatowoman]

I have heard it is better to keep your MV rather than replace it. What r your thoughts on doing this if the MV is still savable?? I know the age, condition, etc play a role in the decision, but I would rather keep my parts if possible. I think I had a heart murmur when I was under 50ty. then I was told I didn't have it. could it have gone away & come back?? Do U know of any natural way to get rid of the stiffness of the MV? Mine is getting stiff & thicker as is my LV. I have it mind now, but I am quite old. I worry about having surgery on it when I am even older. What can I do to keep it from becoming worse than it already is? Mild isn't supposed to be surgery time yet, but I fear to wait till it is bad. I may be too old & too weak to survive very long after it is fixed... A friend of mine had the pig valve & died within a year after having it... Yes, I know everyone is different, but I fear I could have the same bad luck as she had. Do U know any top heart Drs in LA, Ca? taking Medicare??? I did know about Dr. David Cannom. he is world famous. I saw him years ago about some other issues I was having. He is 78 yrs old now... Do U know any heart docs who specialize in the newest successful MV surgeries? I wish to keep my valve if possible. Thanks for making it very easy to follow... I also like some of the names. 1 would make a great dog's name too. The quinkes or something like that... I thought it would make a great dogs name. here Quinkes

Marfan's should really be on both sides of the 50 mark. If anything it should be on the pre-50 side primarily. My Step dad with Marfan's had his valve replaced at age 33 and I'm having mine done just shy of my 33rd birthday. Just sayin'

[@joelmorin99]

My thoughts exactly. This suggests that this doctor doesnt fully understand that heart complications from Marfan Syndrome can happen at any time of age. I was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome at 33 years of age. I am now 37. I just had my 3rd echocardiogram & even though the office staff from my cardiologist's office called to tell me that quote, "my results came back normal, no sign of Marfan Syndrome" (which just proves how ignorant this cardiologist's office is with respect to how Marfan Syndrome works)....when I got my test results in the mail it says that I have trace amounts of tricuspid regurgitation. So both my cardiologist & the doctor in this video are wrong. TR can happen to a person with Marfan Syndrome at anytime of age. With respect to my cardiologist's office saying my test results were "normal showing no sign of Marfan Syndrome" they are also wrong because showing any sign of tricuspid regurgitation IS A SIGN of Marfan Syndrome! Its so frustrating to deal with so called professionals that know less about our disease than we do!
