Arterial distensibility as a possible compensatory mechanism in chronic aortic regurgitation

Arterial distensibility as a possible compensatory mechanism in chronic aortic regurgitation

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate elastic properties of conduit arteries in asymptomatic patients who have severe chronic aortic regurgitation. METHODS: Twelve healthy volunteers aged 30±1 years (control group) and 14 asymptomatic patients with severe aortic regurgitation aged 29±2 years and left ventricular e...
