==Overview==
Aortic insufficiency can be an acute illness or a chronic illness and the causes differ depending upon the acuity of the disease. In general, aortic insufficiency is due to abnormalities of the aortic valve itself or the aortic root. Aortic regurgitation secondary to dilation of the ascending aorta has overtaken the valvular aortic disease as the most common cause of aortic regurgitation.It can also occur after surgical valve placement.

==Aortic regurgitation causes==


==Overview==
Aortic insufficiency can be an acute illness or a chronic illness and the causes differ depending upon the acuity of the disease.  In general, aortic insufficiency is due to abnormalities of the aortic valve itself or the aortic root.


==Differential Diagnosis of the Causes of Acute Aortic Insufficiency==
===Life Threatening Causes===
In alphabetical order:
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.

Overview

Aortic insufficiency can be an acute illness or a chronic illness and the causes differ depending upon the acuity of the disease. In general, aortic insufficiency is due to abnormalities of the aortic valve itself or the aortic root. Aortic regurgitation secondary to dilation of the ascending aorta has overtaken the valvular aortic disease as the most common cause of aortic regurgitation.It can also occur after surgical valve placement.

Aortic regurgitation causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
