Aortic insufficiency can cause chest pain due to excessive pulling on the ascending aorta during left ventricular ejection and abnormal enlargement of the heart.
Aortic insufficiency is mainly caused by the lesion of the valve itself and the disease of the root of the aorta, which affects the function and structure of the heart, such as the ejection of blood from the heart. Chronic aortic insufficiency may remain asymptomatic for a long period of time and can be treated with clinical observation and follow-up, as well as prevention of infective endocarditis and rheumatism.
As the severity of aortic insufficiency and regurgitant flow increase, palpitations, chest pain, and discomfort in the precordial region associated with increased cardiac output and changes in cardiac function and structure may occur. As the disease progresses, left heart failure such as nocturnal paroxysmal dyspnea and sedentary breathing may occur.
It is recommended that cardiovascular symptoms and signs should be promptly consulted, and the cardiac ultrasound and other auxiliary examinations should be perfected, and then appropriate treatment should be carried out according to the specific cause and severity of the disease.
