Aortic valve disease is a type of heart valve disease. In this condition, the valve between the lower left heart chamber and the body's main artery doesn't work properly. The aortic valve helps keep blood flowing in the correct direction through the heart.

Your aortic valve is one of your four main heart valves. It opens when blood flows from your left ventricle to your aorta. Your heart valves ensure blood flows through your heart in one direction.

The aortic valve is a valve in the heart of humans and most other animals, located between the left ventricle and the aorta. It is one of the four valves of the heart and one of the two semilunar valves, the other being the pulmonary valve.

2024年6月11日 · Aortic valve repair and aortic valve replacement help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms of heart valve disease. The treatments also may prolong life. Aortic valve repair or replacement may be done as an open-heart surgery or as a minimally invasive procedure.

2024年9月17日 · Find out what you need to know about your aortic valve — where it's located, what it does, and how it works. Learn about the symptoms, causes, and treatments for aortic valve conditions.

2024年5月23日 · Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening and can sometimes be referred to as a failing heart valve. Aortic stenosis restricts the blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta may also affect the pressure in the left atrium.

From historical perspectives to contemporary microscopic details, the components of the aortic root are explored, including the sinutubular junction, aortic sinuses, valve leaflets, and interleaflet triangles.

2023年10月30日 · The aortic valve is one of four valves of the heart, along with the mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary valves. The aortic valve separates the left ventricle from the ascending aorta. In most cases, it is composed of three semilunar cusps. However, in some cases, it can be bicuspid or quadricuspid.

2022年1月1日 · In aortic stenosis, the heart's aortic valve narrows and can't open fully. In aortic regurgitation, the valve doesn't close properly. The cause may be present at birth (congenital) or acquired later in life, and the problems can occur alone or together.

2024年11月14日 · Structurally, the aortic valve has three leaflets, with three cusps that ensure one-way flow of the blood from the heart into systemic circulation. Furthermore, the three cusps of the valve are...
