Aortic regurgitation is sometimes called aortic incompetence or a leaky aortic valve. In aortic regurgitation the valve does not close properly. The aortic valve is a heart valve that lies between the left ventricle and the aorta. Therefore, blood leaks back (regurgitates) into the left ventricle from the aorta.
In some cases, aortic regurgitation occurs at the same time as aortic stenosis. Read more about aortic stenosis.
במבט חטוף
Aortic regurgitation is when blood leaks backward through the aortic valve.
Symptoms may include tiredness, shortness of breath, and swollen ankles.
Mild cases may not need treatment.
Medicines can ease symptoms if heart failure develops.
Surgery to repair or replace the valve may be advised for more severe cases.
תסמינים
Mild aortic regurgitation may cause no symptoms. However symptoms may include
קוצר נשימה, especially with exercise or when you lie down
Swollen ankles (oedema)
Treatment
If the backflow of blood is mild then you may not need any treatment. If you develop complications, various medicines may be advised. Surgery may sometimes be advised.
תרופות
Medication may be advised to help ease symptoms of heart failure if heart failure develops - for example, מעכבי אנזים ממיר אנגיוטנסין (ACE) and/or 'water' tablets (diuretics). See separate leaflet called Heart Failure for more details on treatment methods.
ניתוח
Surgical options include repair of the aortic valve or replacement of the valve. The most recent guideline recommends replacement as the preferred option in most cases.
Valve replacement surgery may be with a mechanical or a tissue valve. Mechanical valves are made of materials which are not likely to react with your body, such as titanium. Tissue valves are made from treated animal tissue, such as valves from a pig. If you need surgery, a surgeon will advise on which is the best option for your situation.
Surgical treatment has greatly improved the outlook in most people with more severe regurgitation. The outlook (prognosis) is good if the valve is treated before the heart becomes badly damaged.
What is the outcome?
The outcome (prognosis) will depend on the underlying cause and the severity of aortic regurgitation. The outcome is generally poor if there is no treatment but is good with available modern treatments.

Angina is a pain that comes from the heart. It is usually caused by narrowing of the heart's blood vessels - the (coronary) arteries. Usual treatment includes a statin medicine to lower your cholesterol level, low-dose aspirin to help prevent a heart attack, and a beta-blocker medicine to help protect the heart and to prevent angina pains. An angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor medicine is advised in some cases. Sometimes angioplasty or surgery are options to widen, or to bypass, narrowed arteries.

Dilated cardiomyopathy is a condition where the heart muscle becomes stretched and thin. The heart becomes enlarged (dilates) and pumps blood less well. Symptoms vary according to severity and the treatment depends on the type of symptoms and whether any complications develop. Some forms of dilated cardiomyopathy run in families.

שאלות נפוצות
Can aortic regurgitation improve on its own without treatment?
The article implies that if the backflow of blood is mild, treatment might not be necessary, suggesting that it may remain stable or not worsen. However, it does not explicitly state that aortic regurgitation can improve or resolve on its own. It highlights that the outcome is generally poor without treatment if the condition is severe.
What is the typical recovery time after aortic valve surgery?
The article mentions that surgical treatment has greatly improved the outlook for people with severe regurgitation, but it does not provide information on typical recovery times or what to expect in the period immediately following surgery.
Are there any lifestyle changes I can make to help manage aortic regurgitation?
The article focuses primarily on medical and surgical treatments, and the symptoms of the condition. It does not offer specific advice on lifestyle changes that might help manage aortic regurgitation or its symptoms.
How often will I need to be monitored if my aortic regurgitation is mild and doesn't require treatment?
The article states that mild cases may not need treatment, but it does not specify any recommendations for ongoing monitoring or follow-up appointments in such situations.
What are the potential risks associated with mechanical or tissue valve replacement surgery?
The article describes the types of valves used in surgery (mechanical and tissue) and states that surgery has improved outcomes. However, it does not detail the potential risks or complications associated with these surgical procedures or the different types of valves.
