2. 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. [ 4 ]

3. Valvular heart disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valvular_heart_disease

   See media help. Valvular heart disease is any cardiovascular disease process involving one or more of the four valves of the heart (the aortic and mitral valves on the left side of heart and the pulmonic and tricuspid valves on the right side of heart). These conditions occur largely as a consequence of aging, [1] but may also be the result of ...

4. Mitral regurgitation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_regurgitation

   Mitral regurgitation, also known as mitral insufficiency or mitral incompetence, is the backward flow of blood from the left ventricle, through the mitral valve, and into the left atrium, when the left ventricle contracts, resulting in a systolic murmur radiating to the left armpit. [5][3]

6. Aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_replacement

   Aortic valve replacement. ICD-9-CM. 35.21 - 35.22 V43.3. [edit on Wikidata] Aortic valve replacement is a cardiac surgery procedure whereby a failing aortic valve is replaced with an artificial heart valve. The aortic valve may need to be replaced because of aortic regurgitation (back flow), or if the valve is narrowed by stenosis.

7. Mitral valve repair - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve_repair

   ICD-9-CM. 35.12. [edit on Wikidata] Mitral valve repair is a cardiac surgery procedure performed by cardiac surgeons to treat stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage) of the mitral valve. The mitral valve is the "inflow valve" for the left side of the heart. Blood flows from the lungs, where it picks up oxygen, through the pulmonary ...
