Aortic regurgitation occurs when blood flows retrograde (backwards) across the aortic valve from the aorta into the left ventricle during diastole. This abnormal backflow of blood leads to ...

The following is a summary of "Transcatheter aortic valve implantation versus surgical aortic valve replacement in patients ...

Aortic stenosis is a condition where the aortic valve narrows, obstructing blood flow from the heart to the aorta. As a ...
