Aortic Regurgitation: the Curriculum
• Background• Physiology Consequences (→ EDV)
– Pulse pressure• Aorta: limited compliance (C = V/P)
– Eccentric hypertrophy– Hemodynamic curves (cardiac cycle, pressure-volume loop)
• Physical Exam: the Murmur– Chronic AI: Decrescendo at mid-LSB
• Squatting maneuver → intensity
• Demographics– Endocarditis– Rheumatic fever, acute– Aortitis/Dissection

Why does the Pulse Pressure (Systolic – Diastolic) widen?[normal = <50 mm Hg)
SYSTOLIC: Increased EDV (LA + Regurg Vol) → SV DIASTOLIC: Regurgitant Volume
This is a key pathophysiologic hallmark

This is also observed in anemia.
Decreased oxygen delivery → vasodilation → afterload → SV
Result: Widened pulse pressure

Aortic Regurgitation: the Curriculum
• Background• Physiology Consequences (→ EDV)
– Pulse pressure• Aorta: limited compliance (C = V/P)
– Eccentric hypertrophy– Hemodynamic curves (cardiac cycle, pressure-volume loop)
• Physical Exam: the Murmur– Chronic AI: Decrescendo at mid-LSB
• Squatting maneuver → intensity
• Demographics– Endocarditis– Rheumatic fever, acute– Aortitis/Dissection
