Fetal aortic stenosis is a disorder that occurs when the fetus’ aortic valve does not fully open during development. [1] The aortic valve is a one way valve that is located between the left ventricle and the aorta , keeping blood from leaking back into the ventricle. [ 1 ]
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.
Just like aortic stenosis, treatment for aortic regurgitation is replacement of the valve after symptoms and left ventricular dysfunction develops. SUMMARY All right, as a quick recap…. Aortic stenosis happens if the aortic valve doesn’t open all the way, and aortic valve regurgitation happens if the valve doesn’t close all the way.
They may protrude into the orifice of the mitral valve, leading to fixed obstruction of blood flow from the left atria to the left ventricles. [1] Subaortic stenosis has been observed in both muscular and membranous forms. In either case, a variable degree of obstruction may be observed at the ventricular surface of the aortic valve. [1]
A bicuspid aortic valve may cause the heart's aortic valve to narrow (aortic stenosis). [6] This narrowing prevents the valve from opening fully, which reduces or blocks blood flow from the heart to the body. In some cases, the aortic valve does not close tightly, causing blood to leak backward into the left ventricle. [10]
More than 50% of patients with aortic valve stenosis have a congenital heart abnormality called a bicuspid aortic valve. The aortic valve is normally three leaflets but when it is bicuspid it is made of two. [6] This increases the risk for aortic stenosis due to increased stress on the leaflets, calcium deposition, turbulent blood flow, and ...
[5] [6] [7] Several structures can be affected including the left ventricle, aorta, aortic valve, or mitral valve all resulting in decreased systemic blood flow. [8] Diagnosis can occur prenatally via ultrasound or shortly after birth via echocardiography. [5]
In 10% of cases, no mutation is found in either gene. For another member of the gene family, mutations in the Notch1 gene are associated with bicuspid aortic valve, a valve with two leaflets instead of three. Notch1 is also associated with calcification of the aortic valve, the third most common cause of heart disease in adults. [29] [30]
