Q

Why may the aortic valve have a lack of closure with aortic regurgitation?

33
Q

Why may the aortic valve pre-OPEN insistently with aortic regur?

A

Because of the elevated LVEDP which does not allow the aortic valve to relax and close. That LV pressure instead continues to have the AV pop open and open early
