Overview

Aortic insufficiency of hypertensive type is usually diagnosed by exclusion of other causes of aortic insufficiency; such as rheumatic aortic insufficiency, or aortic insufficiency due to syphilis. Aortic insufficiency must be clinically differentiated from other cardiac or pulmonary conditions with similar symptoms such as mitral regurgitation.
