What Is Aortic Valve Regurgitation?
The aortic valve located between the left ventricle and the aorta is opened when the ventricle contracts, the blood flow in the left ventricle enters the aorta and is directed to the whole body, and is closed when the ventricle is dilated, preventing the blood in the aorta from flowing back into the left ventricle. When aortic insufficiency occurs, the aortic valve cannot be closed tightly during diastole, causing blood to flow from the aorta into the left ventricle.
