Aortic Regurgitation
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Aortic regurgitation is a disorder of the heart's aortic valve in which it does not close completely, which allows part of the blood to flow back into the heart with each beat. Over time, this can force the heart to work harder.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the one who studies and follows up on diseases of the heart valves; in children, the pediatric cardiologist, and the internist can take part in the comprehensive evaluation.
Signs that may appear:
- Fatigue or tiredness with exertion
- Shortness of breath, especially when lying down
- Palpitations or a sensation of a strong heartbeat
When to seek care? When these symptoms or the finding of a heart murmur appear, a professional evaluation allows for proper follow-up of the heart.
