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.
Historical perspective
- The pulmonary valve and its function of allowing blood to the lungs for nourishment was first described by Hippocrates. [1]
- Erasistratus, mentioned the involvement of the pulmonary valve in the unidirectional flow.[1]
- Mondino de Luzzi designed the sketch of the pulmonary valves in the anatomical position for the first time.
- Realdo Colombo described the pulmonary circulation for the first time.[1]
