2 Aortic regurgitation

3 Aortic regurgitation Etiology _Acquired
*Any conditions resulting in incompetent aortic leaflets _Congenital Bicuspid AV _Aortopathy Cystic medial necrosis Collagen disorders (.Marfan Syn.] Ehler-Danlos Osteogenesis imperfecta Pseudoxanthoma elasticum _Acquired * Rheumatic heart disease *Dilated aorta [ hyperte.] *Degenerative *Connective tissue disorder _ Ankylosing spondylitis, _Rheumatoid arthritis, _Reiter’s syndrome, _Giant-cell arteritis ) *Syphilis (chronic aortitis) *Acute AR: , _Infective endocarditis, _Trauma _Dissecting aneurysm

4 Aortic regurgitation Aortic Dissection Bicuspid AV Marfan syndrome

5 Aortic regurgitation Pathophysiology Chronic AR
Elevated LV end-diastolic pressure and volume Dilatation and eccentric hypertrophy of the LV Increased stroke volume Left ventricular EF  normal Gradually LV preload and afterload both increased Ultimately, adaptive measures fail. LV function deteriorates End-diastolic volume rises further (the largest heart)  Myocardial ischemia Decline in forward stroke volume and EF LVDOL…. LV dilatation …. Increased SV ….. Wide PP…..LVH …Dilated LA …. Increased LVEDP……LAP rise ….. Pulmonary congestion …. PH …. RVH ……RVF

6 _Dyspnea, orthopnea, PND
Aortic regurgitation Symptoms Mild to moderate AR : * Often asymptomatic * Palpitation Severe AR : _Dyspnea, orthopnea, PND _Chest pain. Nocturnal angina >> exertional angina { diastolic aortic pressure and increased LVEDP thus  coronary artery diastolic flow} *With extreme reductions in diastolic pressures {e.g. < 40} may see angina

7 Aortic regurgitation _Durosier’s sign: femoral retrograde bruits
Peripheral Signs _Durosier’s sign: femoral retrograde bruits _Traube’s sign: pistol shot femorals _Hill’s sign:BP Lower extremity >BP Upper extremity by _> 20 mm Hg - mild AR _> 40 mm Hg – mod AR _> 60 mm Hg – severe AR _Quincke’s sign: capillary pulsation _Corrigan’s sign: _Water hammer pulse _Bisferiens pulse (AS/AR > AR) _De Musset’s sign: systolic head bobbing _Mueller’s sign: systolic pulsation of uvula

9 Central Signs of Severe
Aortic regurgitation Central Signs of Severe Apex: _Enlarged _Displaced _Hyper-dynamicLforcible nonsustained _Palpable S3 _Austin-Flint murmur Aortic diastolic murmur _Length correlates with severity {chronic AR} _In acute AR murmur shortens as Aortic DP=LVEDP _In acute AR - mitral pre-closure

10 Aortic regurgitation Physical examination Widened pulse pressure
systolic – diastolic = pulse pressure _ S1 S2 S1 AUSCULTATION Murmur: high-pitched, blowing, decrescendo diastolic murmur, heard best in the third intercostal space along the left sternal border (holodiastolic in severe AR) When the murmur is soft, it can be heard best with the diapgm hraof the stethoscope and with the patient sitting up, leaning forward, and with the breath held in forced expiration. 10 10

11 A mid-systolic ejection murmur frequently audible in isolated AR
Flint murmur, a soft, low-pitched, rumbling mid-diastolic murmur probably produced by the diastolic displacement of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve by the AR stream not due to hemodynamically significant mitral obstruction 11 11

12 Common Murmurs and Timing
Aortic regurgitation Common Murmurs and Timing ,_Systolic Murmurs _ Aortic stenosis _ Mitral insufficiency _Mitral valve prolapse _Tricuspid insufficiency Diastolic Murmurs _Aortic insufficiency _Mitral stenosis S S S1

13 Aortic regurgitation Investigations : *ECG :- LVH + T inversion
*Chest XR :- _ Cadiac dilatation _ Aortic dilatation _ Pulmonary congestion *ECHO : _Dilated LV _ Hyperdynamic LV _Fluttering AML _ Doppler detects reflux *Cardiac Catheterization :- _Dilated LV _ AR _Dilated aortic root

17 Assessing severity of AR
Aortic regurgitation Assessing severity of AR *Assess severity by impact on peripheral signs and LV  peripheral signs =  severity  LV =  severity S3 Austin –Flint murmer LVH radiological cardiomegaly

18 TX: Medical  Surgery BEFORE LV dysfunction
Aortic regurgitation Natural history : *Asymptomatic %/Y Normal LV function {--good prognosis} _Progression to symptoms or LV dysfunction < 6 _Progression to asymptomatic LV dysfunction < 3.5 _ 5-year survival % < _Sudden death Abnormal LV function _Progression to cardiac symptoms *Symptomatic {poor prognosis _Mortality >10% TX: Medical  Surgery BEFORE LV dysfunction Bonow RO, et al, JACC. 1998;32:1486.

19 Aortic regurgitation Management : * Medical :
_Vasodilator { ACEIs } _ Diuretics for pulmonary congestion _Prophylaxis against IE _Treatment of underline cause e.g. IE , Syphilis *Surgical : _AV replacement Mechanical or Bioprosthesis _Aortic root replacement for dilated A root , {e.g. Syphilis , Marfan`s syndrome , Dissecting aneurysm } *EHO indications for AVR : _LVEDD >55 _EF > 55% _FS > 27%

20 Criteria for Aortic Valve Replacement in Chronic Aortic Regurgitation
Symptoms Congestive heart failure. Declining exercise tolerance on exercise testing. Angina Anatomy, regardless of symptoms: Left ventricular dysfunction: EF <50% Progressive left ventricular dilation or decline in EF on serial studies Severe dilation (echo): - Left ventricular diastolic dimension >75 mm - Left ventricular systolic dimension >55 mm -Aortic root dimension >50 mm
