==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.

===Causes of Aortic Insufficiency as of Type of Onset===

* [[Aortic dissection]]: A type A dissection may disrupt the integrity of the valve leaflets causing malcoaptation of the aortic leaflets.
* [[Bacterial endocarditis]]: The [[infection]] can erode the valve, can cause a leaflet to become flail, or a vegetation can prevent coaptation of the leaflets.
* Blunt [[chest trauma]]: Trauma can disrupt the supporting apparatus of the [[aortic valve]].
* [[Myxomatous]] [[aortic valve]]: The valvular structure can degenerate.
* [[Prosthetic valve]] dysfunction
* [[Rheumatic fever]]
====Causes of Chronic Aortic Insufficiency====
* [[Ankylosing spondylitis]]: Ankylosing spondylitis can be associated with inflammation of the [[aorta]] ([[aortitis]]).<ref>Palazzi C, D' Angelo S, Lubrano E, Olivieri I. Aortic involvement in ankylosing spondylitis. Clin Exp Rheumatol. May-Jun 2008;26(3 Suppl 49):S131-4.</ref> The inflammatory process can also involve the septum and cause [[conduction disease]].

* [[Arteriosclerosis]]
* [[Bechterew's Disease|Bechterew's disease]]
* [[Behcet disease]]: Rarely, in 5% of Behcet's cases there is an [[aortitis]] that involves the [[ascending aorta]] and in some cases the [[coronary arteries]].
* [[Bicuspid aortic valve]]: This is the most common congenital abnormality of the [[heart]]. It is the most common cause of isolated aortic insufficiency requiring surgical repair. Bicuspid aortic valve is also associated with [[inflammation]] of the [[aorta]] (an aortopathy) which may lead to dilation of the [[aorta]] and/or [[aortic dissection]] that can worsen the aortic insufficiency.<ref>Friedman T, Mani A, Elefteriades JA.

* [[Hypertension]]
* [[Marfan Syndrome]]
* [[Myxomatous]] aortic valve
* [[Polymyalgia rheumatica]]
* [[Pseudoxanthoma elasticum]]
* [[Reiter's syndrome]]
* [[Rheumatic fever]]: Rheumatic fever remains a cause of [[AS]] in the Middle East, Northern Africa and Asia as well as some immigrant populations in the United States. It is less prevalent in the US than it was in the 20th century. AR occurs as a result of [[fibrosis]] of the valve that is associated with thickening and retraction of the leaflets of the [[aortic valve]]. This retraction results in regurgitation in the center of the valve. At the same time, there may also be fusion of the aortic leaflets which results in concurrent [[aortic stenosis]]. It should be noted that rheumatic disease of the [[mitral valve]] is usually present in the same patient.
* [[Rheumatoid arthritis]]: [[RA]] rarely causes symptomatic AR, but it can cause [[granulomatous]] nodules on the aortic leaflets which leads to clinical aortic regurgitation.<ref>Chand EM, Freant LJ, Rubin JW.

* Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm
* [[Syphilis]]
* [[Systemic lupus erythematosus]]: There are tow mechanisms by which [[SLE]] can cause AR. SLE can cause [[inflammation]] and [[fibrosis]] of the aortic leaflets leading to their damage and retraction.<ref>Jain D, Halushka MK. Cardiac pathology of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Jul 2009;62(7):584-92.</ref> SLE can also be associated with the development of sterile verrucous vegetations on the valves called [[Libman-Sacks endocarditis]].<ref>Moyssakis I, Tektonidou MG, Vasilliou VA, Samarkos M, Votteas V, Moutsopoulos HM.

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.
