Overview
In patients with acute severe AR resulting from infectious endocarditis or aortic dissection, reduction LV afterload by medications may be a temporary stabilization, but surgery should not be delayed, especially in the presence of hypotension, pulmonary edema, or evidence of low flow. Intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation is contraindicated in patients with acute severe AR. Beta blockers are often used in treating aortic dissection. However, these agents should be used very cautiously because of block the compensatory tachycardia and reduction in blood pressure.
Medical Therapy
Therapeutic Options
Nitroprusside
Nitroprusside lowers afterload and thereby reduces retrograde flow and left ventricular end diastolic pressure.[2]
Inotropic Agents
Inotropic agents such as dopamine and dobutamine can be used to increase the contractility of the heart resulting in improved forward flow.[3]
Beta Blockers
Beta blockers which are often used in managing aortic dissection should be used very cautiously in the presence of acute AR as beta blockers can block the compensatory tachycardia and worsen the cardiac output.[2]
Intraaortic Balloon Pump
Insertion of an intraaortic balloon pump is contraindicated in acute AR, as it may worsen the severity of the regurgitation.[4]
