- Left untreated, severe mitral valve regurgitation can cause heart failure or heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias). Even people without symptoms should be seen and evaluated by a cardiologist and surgeon specializing in mitral valve disease to determine whether early intervention may be beneficial.

What is coarctation of the aorta? What are the signs and symptoms of coarctation of the aorta? In severe cases, coarctation of the aorta symptoms will appear within the first few days of life. The more the aorta is narrowed, the more severe the symptoms will be. In infants where the coarctation of the aorta is severe or moderate, symptoms can include: Labored or rapid breathing; Weak femoral artery pulse (taken in the groin area) Heavy sweating

Aortic Valve Regurgitation - Overview When you have aortic valve regurgitation, the aortic valve doesn't close as it should. With each heartbeat, some of the blood leaks back (regurgitates) through the aortic valve into the left ventricle. The body does not get enough blood, so the heart has to work harder to make up for it.

âASCENDING AORTIC ANEURYSMS Most patients with ascending aortic aneurysms do not have any symptoms. The most common symptom of an ascending aortic aneurysm is dull and vague chest pain. Some patients will have symptoms related to compression of other structures in the chest like the trachea or esophagus.

Mitral Valve Regurgitation - Cause Acute mitral valve regurgitation. Acute mitral valve regurgitation occurs when the mitral valve or one of its supporting structures ruptures suddenly, creating an immediate overload of blood volume and pressure in the left side of the heart.

Mitral valve regurgitation Possible causes of mitral valve regurgitation include: Mitral valve prolapse. In this condition, the leaflets and tendon-like cords supporting the mitral valve weaken and stretch so that with each contraction of the left ventricle, the valve leaflets bulge (prolapse) into the left atrium.

Overview 1 This can lead to blood leaking backward (regurgitating) into the right atrium. 2  Tricuspid valve regurgitation in children is usually caused by heart disease present at birth (congenital heart disease), and Ebstein's anomaly is the most common congenital heart disease that causes the condition.ou may be diagnosed with this condition when having tests for other conditions. Signs and symptoms of tricuspid valve regurgitation may include: 1  Fatigue. 2  Declining exercise capacity. 3  Swelling in your abdomen, legs or veins in your neck. 4  Abnormal heart rhythms. 5  Pulsing in your neck.

Your input helps shape an effective treatment plan. If you have mitral valve regurgitation, you may notice that you feel very tired and that you have a hard time catching your breath when you exercise or when you are lying down. You may also notice swelling in your legs.

- Causes of aortic valve regurgitation include: 1  Congenital heart valve disease. 2  You may have been born with an aortic valve that has only two leaflets (bicuspid valve) or fused leaflets rather than the normal three separate leaflets. 3  This puts you at risk of developing aortic valve regurgitation at some time in your life.

- Causes. Tricuspid valve regurgitation can have several causes. Tricuspid valve regurgitation is usually caused by the lower right heart chamber (right ventricle) bulging (dilating), which can lead to the tricuspid valve not working properly.ou may be diagnosed with this condition when having tests for other conditions. Signs and symptoms of tricuspid valve regurgitation may include: 1  Fatigue. 2  Declining exercise capacity. 3  Swelling in your abdomen, legs or veins in your neck. 4  Abnormal heart rhythms. 5  Pulsing in your neck.

Mitral Regurgitation - Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment Mitral Regurgitation - Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment. Mitral regurgitation is a valvular disease in which the mitral leaflets, which are comprised of two tissue flaps, do not seal properly. As a result, blood leaks backwards in your heart forcing a constant strain on your cardiac muscle.

- Aortic aneurysms often cause no symptoms at all. But if present, symptoms include: 1  Tearing pain in the chest, abdomen, and/or middle of the back between the shoulder blades.2  Thoracic aneurysms may cause shortness of breath, hoarseness, cough (due to pressure on the lungs and airways), and difficulty swallowing (pressure on the esophagus). thoracic aneurysm may cause a heart murmur. An abdominal aneurysm feels like a pulsating mass in the stomach. If one is detected, it must be monitored. Aneurysms are at higher risk of rupture as they grow larger.

Mitral Regurgitation Mitral regurgitation (MR) is incompetency of the mitral valve causing flow from the left ventricle (LV) into the left atrium during ventricular systole.MR can be primary (common causes are mitral valve prolapse and rheumatic fever) or secondary to LV dilation or infarction.Complications include progressive heart failure, arrhythmias, and endocarditis. Symptoms and signs include palpitations, dyspnea, and a holosystolic apical murmur.itral regurgitation (MR) is incompetency of the mitral valve causing flow from the left ventricle (LV) into the left atrium during ventricular systole.

Aortic insufficiency The findings in severe aortic regurgitation, based on the 2012 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines include: 1  An AI color jet width > 65 % of the left ventricular outflow tract diameter. 2  Doppler vena contracta width > 0.6 cm. 3  The pressure half-time of the regurgitant jet is < 200 ms.

Aortic Aneurysm - Symptoms But symptoms may begin to occur if the aneurysm gets bigger and puts pressure on surrounding organs. If an aortic aneurysm bursts, or ruptures, there is sudden, severe pain, an extreme drop in blood pressure, and signs of shock. Without immediate medical treatment, death occurs.

Problem: Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation Tricuspid regurgitation may not have any symptoms or the symptoms be vague, such as weakness and fatigue, which develop because the heart is not pumping enough blood to allow the body to receive the needed oxygen. Other symptoms may include: Active pulsing in the neck veins. Enlarged liver.

Heart Failure  In-Depth Report Aortic regurgitation is where blood leaks back through the aortic valve. This is because the valve does not close properly. With each heartbeat, more blood than usual enters the left ventricle and so it needs to work harder.Mild regurgitation may not cause symptoms.he aortic valve lies between the left ventricle and the aorta. When the left ventricle relaxes, the aortic valve closes and the mitral valve opens. This allows more blood into the ventricle, ready for the next heartbeat. Aortic regurgitation is sometimes called aortic incompetence or a leaky aortic valve.

Overview A ruptured aortic aneurysm can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding. In general, the larger the aneurysm, the greater the risk of rupture. Signs and symptoms that your aortic aneurysm has burst include: 1  Sudden, intense and persistent abdominal or back pain. Tobacco use is a strong risk factor for the development of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. 2  The longer you've smoked or chewed tobacco, the greater your risk. 3  Atherosclerosis. 4  Atherosclerosis, the buildup of fat and other substances that can damage the lining of a blood vessel, increases your risk of an aneurysm.
