Read Heather's story. Cardiology Today and Tomorrow Challenging Issues in Aortic Valve Disease Read more The two main types of aortic valve disease are: aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation . Aortic valves can become thick and narrowed (stenotic), causing them not to open fully, or curled at the edges and leaky (aortic valve regurgitation or insufficiency), resulting in a backflow of blood into the left ventricle.

Y Aortic Valve Disease From Our Sponsors: Advertisement Definition Aortic Valve Disease entails damage to, and dysfunction of, the aortic valve, one of the four valves in the heart. Description The most common valvular problem in old age is aortic valve disease. The aortic valve is one of four valves that control the flow of blood into and out of the heart. In particular, the aortic valve controls the flow of oxygenated blood pumped out of the heart from the left ventricle into the aorta, the main artery leading to the rest of the body. If the valve is abnormally narrow (aortic stenosis), the heart must work harder for a sufficient amount of blood to be pumped with each beat. On the other hand, if the valve does not close properly, it may cause aortic regurgitation because some of the blood being pumped out into the aorta regurgitates, or leaks backward, into the left ventricle with each beat. In either case, the work of the ventricle increases. As a result, its muscular wall thickens (a condition known as hypertrophy) and the left ventricle may become larger (dilate).

What Causes an Aortic Valve to Malfunction? Are There Any Warning Signs for a Failing Aortic Valve? ... What Will My Condition Be Like After Aortic Valve Replacement WHAT IS AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT? Aortic valve replacement is an "open heart" procedure performed by cardithoracic surgeons for treatment of narrowing (stenosis) or leakage (regurgitation) of the aortic valve WHAT IS THE AORTIC VALVE? The location of the aortic valve is shown in the diagram to the left. The heart has two sets of pumping chambers: the right-sided chambers pump blood to the lungs, and the left side pumps blood to the rest of the body. The left side, therefore, has a harder job than the right side, and the left side does most of the work. The main pumping chambers of the heart are called the ventricles Because the ventricle is a pump, it must have both an inflow valve and an outflow valve. The aortic valve is on the left side of the heart and is the outflow valve. The aortic valve opens to allow blood to leave the left ventricle (the main pumping chamber of the heart) and closes to prevent blood from leaking backwards into the ventricle from the rest of the body.

Valve Disease - Rheumatic - Non- Rheumatic :: Aortic Stenosis :: Aortic Regurgitation Valvular heart disease describes structural or functional abnormalities of single or multiple cardiac valves that results in alteration in blood flow across the valve. According to the causes it can be classified as: Rheumatic Rheumatic origin: Preceded by rheumatic fever Rheumatic fever Is an inflammatory disease, which occurs as a delayed sequel to pharyngeal infection with Beta hemolytic streptococci (Bacteria). This may lead to rheumatic heart disease if not treated properly on time. Rheumatic endocarditis Primarily affects the valve leading to fibrous thickening of the valve leaflets or even calcification leads to stenosis. Mitral and aortic valve commonly involved. Management: Antibiotics-Penicillin is the drug of choice. Salicylates and corticosteroids are also used. Non-Rheumatic Non-rheumatic origin: Caused by congenital malformations, bacterial endocarditis, syphilis etc.

Northwestern Exploring Medical Treatment For Aortic Valve Disease Northwestern Memorial cardiologist Nalini Rajamannan, MD As recently featured in the Journal of the American Medical Association and on Reuters, patients with clogged heart valves might benefit from treatment with cholesterol-lowering drugs, potentially sparing thousands from open-heart surgery to replace the diseased valve, according to new research. Bone-like cells similar to the cells found in the skeleton calcify in the heart's aortic valve and are responsible for the blockages that lead to the need for open-heart surgery to replace the aortic valve for tens of thousands of Americans, according to researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Northwestern University. " Traditionally, the medical community thought aortic valve disease was a wear-and-tear phenomenon," says Nalini Rajamannan, M.D.

Bookmark Us HEART NEWS: Feature Story Print this Article Email this Article Links/Reprints Discuss this Article Statins May Help Aortic Valve Disease June 04, 2002 MONDAY, June 3 (HealthScoutNews) The cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins could have yet another health benefit for the heart: Animal research suggests they can treat the early stages of a disease that strikes the organ's plumbing. There is no drug therapy for the disease, in which skeletal bone structures grow in the valve. The best doctors can do is replace the valves once the disease reaches its later stages. "Valve replacement is the only option," says Dr. Daniel Fisher, a cardiologist and clinical assistant professor at New York University Medical Center. "It's effective, but it's major cardiac surgery and it occasionally requires a lifelong blood thinner if the replacement is a metal valve." Part of the reason for the lack of effective therapies is a lack of information on the cellular causes of aortic valvular disease. This study, appearing in tomorrow?s issue of Circulation, appears to be the first to explain the specific cellular mechanisms behind the disease. "Up until now, people really thought it was a wear-and-tear phenomenon," says Dr. Nalini Rajamannan, study author and assistant professor of cardiology at Northwestern University. "They didn't realize the valve itself has its own biology." The Northwestern team worked jointly on the study with researchers at the Mayo Clinic.
