The heart as a bass organ.

Many florid physical signs of aortic regurgitation have been described. We describe a florid investigational finding of virtually monotonous intracardiac reverberation originating at the aortic valve leaflets.

Left ventricular geometry in Takayasu arteritis complicated by severe aortic regurgitation.

Although it has been reported that the aortic regurgitation (AR) of patients with Takayasu arteritis is due to dilatation of the aortic ring, the geometry of the left ventricle (LV) has not been described. We compared the cardiac findings in patients with Takayasu arteritis (TA) and severe AR with those of patients having severe AR of other origins. Echocardiographically, wall thickness (WT) and the concentric hypertrophic ratio (WT/WT + left ventricular end-diastolic dimension) were greater in patients with TA. It is concluded that the LV of the TA patients revealed concentric hypertrophy even when AR was severe.

[Should asymptomatic aortic valve disease be treated surgically?].

The problems posed by asymptomatic aortic valve disease with regards to surgery differ according to whether the lesion is aortic stenosis or regurgitation. In stenotic lesions, even severe, the risk of spontaneous evolution is very small when the subject is totally asymptomatic. However, the quality of the results of surgery in asymptomatic or pauci-symptomatic patients and the increased difficulties in the very elderly are incentives not to differ surgery when the stenosis is severe, and especially when left ventricular function begins to degrade. In aortic regurgitation, the risk of progression is also low in asymptomatic patients but left ventricular dysfunction may develop before symptoms occur: this explains the necessity for regular clinical, echocardiographic and eventually radioisotopic examination of patients with severe aortic regurgitation. In dystrophic aortic regurgitation, an aneurysm of the sinuses of Valsalva and/or of the ascending aorta, or progressive fusiform dilatation of the ascending aorta are reasons for not postponing surgery for replacement of the aortic valve and the ascending aorta.
