Preoperative implantation of an intra-aortic balloon pump has been shown to reduce mortality in high-risk cardiac surgery cases. However, one main contraindication for its use is severe aortic regurgitation.

Prognostic value of echocardiographic indices of left atrial morphology and function in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease [PDF]
Background: The prognostic relevance of left atrial (LA) morphological and functional variables, including those derived from speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), has been little investigated in veterinary medicine.

Quadricuspid Aortic Valve: A Rare Congenital Anomaly [PDF]
Quadricuspid Aortic Valve (QAV) is a rare, but well-recognised congenital anomaly, which may result in significant aortic regurgitation. We report a case of asymptomatic young male who was inadvertently diagnosed with QAV with moderately severe aortic ...

Material transport in the left ventricle with aortic valve regurgitation
This experimental in vitro work investigates material transport properties in a model left ventricle in the case of aortic regurgitation, a valvular disease characterized by a leaking aortic valve and consequently double-jet filling within the elastic ...

Aortic regurgitation: A multimodality approach
AbstractAortic regurgitation (AR) is a common valvular pathology. Multimodality noninvasive cardiovascular imaging is routinely used to assess the mechanism of AR, degree, and its hemodynamic impact on the cardiovascular system. Collecting this information is crucial in establishing the prognosis and in guiding patient management and follow‐up.

Assessment of Left Atrial Deformation and Function by 2-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Healthy Dogs and Dogs With Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease [PDF]
open7noBackground: The assessment of left atrial (LA) function by 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) holds important clinical implications in human medicine. Few similar data are available in dogs.

The Challenges of Aortic Valve Management After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation
Background: Continuous retrograde flow across the aortic valve from left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy can result in cusp damage and progressive aortic regurgitation, potentially triggering recurrent heart and multiorgan failure.

The Heart of a Horse: 3‐D Echocardiographic Analysis of the Equine Aortic Valve [PDF]
Aortic regurgitation (AR) can be a normal function of aging or a disease in younger horses. Symptoms range from no outward signs to decreased performance to sudden cardiac arrest.

Mid- and Longterm Neo-Aortic Valve Regurgitation after Jatene Surgery: Prevalence and Risk Factors
Background: Jatene surgery became the surgical procedure of choice to repair transposition of the great arteries (TGA) in neonates and infants. Late complications, mainly related to the pulmonary outflow tract and coronary arteries, are well known.
