Overview
According to the 2014 AHA/ACC Guideline for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease, aortic insufficiency has 4 stages based on the valve's anatomy, hemodynamics and the patients symptoms.
Stages
Shown below is a table summarizing the stages of aortic regurgitation (AR) according to the 2014 AHA/ACC guidelines for the management of patients with valvular heart disease. [1]
Abbreviations: AR: aortic regurgitation; HF: heart failure; IE: infective endocarditis; LV: left ventricular; LVEF: left ventricular ejection fraction; LVESD: left ventricular end-systolic dimension; LVOT: left ventricular outflow tract; Jet/LVOT : jet width and LVOT ratio
STAGE | DEFINITION | VALVE ANATOMY | VALVE HEMODYNAMICS | HEMODYNAMIC CONSEQUENCES | SYMPTOMS |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | At risk of AR | • Bicuspid valve • Valve sclerosis • History of rheumatic fever • Infective endocarditis |
• None | • None | • None |
B | Progressive AR | • Mild-to-moderate calcification • Rheumatic valve changes • Dilatation of aortic sinuses • Infective endocarditis |
• Mild AR:
|
• Normal LV systolic function • Normal LV volume or mild LV dilation |
• None |
C | Asymptomatic severe AR | • Calcific aortic valve disease • Rheumatic valve changes • Bicuspid valve • Dilated aortic sinuses • Infective endocarditis with abnormal leaflet closure |
• Severe AR
|
• C1: Normal LVEF and mild to moderate LV dilatation • C2: abnormal LV systolic function with decreased LVEF or severe LV dilatation |
• None • Exercise testing to confirm symptom status |
D | Symptomatic severe AR | • Calcific aortic valve disease • Rheumatic valve changes • Dilated aortic sinuses • Infective endocarditis with abnormal leaflet closure |
• Severe AR
|
• May occur with normal systolic function or decreased function • Presence of moderate to severe LV dilatation |
• Exertional dyspnea • Exertional angina • HF symptoms
