  2. Aortitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortitis

    A few symptoms recognized in patients are fever, chills, muscle pains, and malaise (general discomfort). [2] In addition, hypertension (high blood pressure) may occur. Hypertension happens when the renal artery narrows and elasticity of the aorta and branches decrease. [4] Aortitis can also be caused by Salmonella infection. [5]

  3. Aortic stenosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_stenosis

    As of 2014 rheumatic heart disease mostly occurs in the developing world. [1] Risk factors are similar to those of coronary artery disease and include smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and being male. [1] The aortic valve usually has three leaflets and is located between the left ventricle of the heart, and the aorta. [1]

  4. Acute aortic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_aortic_syndrome

    Acute aortic syndrome (AAS) describes a range of severe, painful, potentially life-threatening abnormalities of the aorta. [1] These include aortic dissection, intramural thrombus, and penetrating atherosclerotic aortic ulcer. [2] AAS can be caused by a lesion on the wall of the aorta that involves the tunica media, often in the descending ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndromes_affecting_the_heart

    A syndrome is a set of medical signs and symptoms that are correlated with each other. A syndrome can affect one or more of body systems. Different syndromes affect different groups of organs.

  6. Aortic aneurysm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_aneurysm

    An aortic aneurysm is an enlargement (dilatation) of the aorta to greater than 1.5 times normal size. [1] Typically, there are no symptoms except when the aneurysm dissects or ruptures, which causes sudden, severe pain in the abdomen and lower back. [2] [3] The etiology remains an area of active research.

  8. Annuloaortic ectasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annuloaortic_ectasia

    The aortic wall dilatation at the commissural level causes the cusps to effectively shorten and prevent them from converging during systole, which results in aortic valve incompetence. The arch is typically spared from the aneurysmal process, though it may involve the entire ascending aorta. The ectatic aorta may experience dissections.

  9. Aortic regurgitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_regurgitation

    Aortic regurgitation (AR), also known as aortic insufficiency (AI), is the leaking of the aortic valve of the heart that causes blood to flow in the reverse direction during ventricular diastole, from the aorta into the left ventricle. As a consequence, the cardiac muscle is forced to work harder than normal.
