Untreated aortic valve disease can eventually result in heart failure, severe infection, and even sudden death. Some patients present with severe symptoms, whereas others have few, if any symptoms. The diagnosis may be made on a routine physical examination. Regular medical follow-up, treatment to prevent infection of the valve (infective endocarditis), and optimal

What Causes an Aortic Valve to Malfunction? Are There Any Warning Signs for a Failing Aortic Valve? ... What Will My Condition Be Like After Aortic Valve Replacement WHAT IS AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT? Aortic valve replacement is an "open heart" procedure performed by cardithoracic surgeons for treatment of narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation) of the aortic valve WHAT IS THE AORTIC VALVE? The location of the aortic valve is shown in the diagram to the left. The heart has two sets of pumping chambers: the right-sided chambers pump blood to the lungs, and the left side pumps blood to the rest of the body. The left side, therefore, has a harder job than the right side, and the left side does most of the work. The main pumping chambers of the heart are called the ventricles Because the ventricle is a pump, it must have both an inflow valve and an outflow valve. The aortic valve is on the left side of the heart and is the outflow valve. The aortic valve opens to allow blood to leave the left ventricle (the main pumping chamber of the heart) and closes to prevent blood from leaking backwards into the ventricle from the rest of the body.

Reviewed July 22, 2004 R. M. Mills, MD Department of Cardiology G.M. Novaro, MD Department of Cardiology Print Chapter The Cleveland Clinic Foundation The availability of two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography and the development of reliable valve prostheses, both bioprosthetic and mechanical, have quietly revolutionized the clinical management of valvular heart disease. The cardiac valves have two functions. By opening, they control the direction in which blood flows, and by closing they allow pressure differentials to exist in a closed system. Abnormal valve function produces either pressure overloading due to restricted opening or volume overloading due to inadequate closure. Valvular heart disease can be approached either on the basis of the pathologic lesion, ie, aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation, or pathophysiologically as pressure overloading versus volume overloading. In this chapter, we will summarize our current approach to aortic valve disease, namely

Aortic Valve Disease Many problems can interfere with the proper functioning of a valve. They may be congenital (abnormal from birth), infectious (endocarditis), inflammatory (rheumatic fever), or just wear and tear over the years. In general, heart valve problems take one of two forms: Stenosis describes the condition when a valve does not open completely or the opening is too small, resulting in restricted blood flow; or Regurgitation , or Insufficiency, implies that blood leaks backward across the valve that should be closed. Some valves have both problems to varying degrees. Because the Ross procedure is primarily an aortic valve operation, this text focuses on problems pertaining to the aortic valve. table of contents E-mail: pstelzer@ps4ross.com phone:
