Rheumatic aortic stenosis with insufficiency
Estenose aórtica reumática com insuficiência
CategoryDefinition
Aortic stenosis from chronic rheumatic heart disease is typically associated with aortic insufficiency. The valve commissures and cuspis become adherent and fused, and the valve orifice becomes small. Upon auscultation, S2 may be single because the aortic leaflets are immobile and do not produce an aortic closure sound
