What causes aortic insufficiency?
The causes of aortic insufficiency vary from congenital to developed later in life. You are at an increased risk of aortic insufficiency as you age, if you’ve had rheumatic fever or if you have high blood pressure. Certain infections or congenital heart problems may also lead to this condition.

0.
What is aortic valve disorder?
In aortic valve disease, the valve between the lower left heart chamber (left ventricle) and the body’s main artery (aorta) doesn’t work properly. The valve may be thickened and stiff (stenosis) or it may not close properly, causing blood to flow backward.
What is bicuspid aortic valve?
Bicuspid aortic valve is a type of abnormality in the aortic valve in the heart. In bicuspid aortic valve, the valve has only two small parts, called leaflets, instead of the normal three. This condition is present from birth. It can occur with other heart defects.
What is mild aortic insufficiency?
Aortic insufficiency is a heart valve disease where the aortic valve no longer functions adequately to control the flow of blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. Commonly, aortic insufficiency shows no symptoms for many years. Symptoms may then occur gradually or suddenly.
Is aortic insufficiency serious?
Despite all of the extra effort, the heart still cannot pump enough blood to keep the body well-oxygenated. This condition will make you feel tired and out of breath easily. Over time, it can take a serious toll on your heart and overall health.
How do doctors determine if someone has valve insufficiency?
Echocardiogram. Sound waves directed at your heart from a wandlike device (transducer) held on your chest create pictures of your heart in motion. This test can help doctors closely look at the condition of the aortic valve and the aorta.
What are the signs of a heart valve problem?

What is it called when you only have 2 heart valves instead of 3?
A bicuspid aortic valve is an aortic valve that has two flaps (cusps) instead of three. It may cause a narrowed or obstructed aortic valve opening (aortic valve stenosis), making it difficult for the heart to pump blood into the body’s main artery (aorta).
