Abstract

Abstract : presently, the most frequent cause of AS is the related to age degenerative calcificated AS. transthoracic echocardiography is the key diagnostic tool, also for follow-up. Other useful diagnostic techniques are basal EKG, exercise and Dobutamine stress ecocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, exercise stress testing, multi-slice CT and cardiac MR, natriuretic peptides and cardiac catheterization. we must intervene on patients with symptomatic severe AS, mainly by surgical aortic valve replacement, and if surgical risk is very high, TAVI can be a suitable alternative. it can be caused by aortic valve and/or aortic root primary disease. transthoracic echocardiography is the key diagnostic tool too, also for follow-up. Other useful diagnostic techniques are basal EKG, transesophageal echocardiography, multi-slice TC and cardiac MR, exercise stress testing and cardiac catheterization. severe acute AR must be urgently operated. In chronic severe AR, when symptoms and/or left ventricular systolic dysfunction appear, we must undertake aortic valve surgery. Sometimes, it is necessary to perform surgery on aortic root an ascending aorta, and it will be performed whatever the severity of AR.
