Aortic Valve Regurgitation in India
Aortic valve regurgitation is a condition that occurs when the heart’s aortic valve doesn’t close tightly. Aortic valve regurgitation allows some of the blood that was pumped out of the heart’s main pumping chamber (left ventricle) to leak back into it.
Mild aortic regurgitation can be treated with medications to reduce blood clotting and reduce the risk of stroke, but surgical repairs or replacement are needed in severe cases.
The right doctor to consult for Aortic valve regurgitation is a Cardiac Surgeon.
Aortic valve regurgitation can be detected by the individual’s medical history and through a proper physical examination. The doctor may listen to the heart with a stethoscope to determine if there is a heart murmur that may indicate an aortic valve condition.
