Question 1

where is the aortic valve?

Accepted Answer

Between LV & aorta: It is the part of the heart between the outflow tract of the left ventricle and the beginning of the aorta.

Question 2

what is aortic valve index range?

Accepted Answer

: Normal values for aortic valve: annulus size= 1.8-2.3 cm  Area: 2.5-4.5 cm squared.    Normal mean gradient:  less than 5mmHg

I don't know if this answers your question.

Question 3

where is the aortic valve located?

Accepted Answer

Aortic Valve: The aortic valve is an integral part of the heart and is located between the left ventricle and the aorta. It opens when the left ventricle contracts (systole) and allows blood to be pumped into the aorta. It closes when the left ventricle fills (diastole).

Question 4

what is the size of the aortic valve?

Accepted Answer

1.5-2: 1.5 - 2 CM squared is a normal aortic valve area, though body size must be taken into account.

Question 5

what is the function of aortic valve?

Accepted Answer

Aortic Valve: The  aortic valve is an integral part of the heart and is located between the left ventricle and the aorta. It opens when the left ventricle contracts (systole) and allows blood to be pumped into the aorta. It closes when the left ventricle fills (diastole). It's function is to prevent blood from flowing back from the aorta while the heart is filling.

Question 6

what is the purpose of an aortic valve?

Accepted Answer

Help: When the heart contracts it squirts blood into the aorta; the aortic valve keeps the blood from flowing back into the heart (left ventricle).

Question 7

what is an extension on the aortic valve?

Accepted Answer

Aortic valve: You need to revise your question and check what it is you'd like to know. To the best of my knowledge, there is no such thing. You can have a valvular vegetation, bicuspid valve, valvular stenosis, insufficiency etc...But no extension.  Please specify and i'd be delighted to answer.

Question 8

what are the functions of an aortic valve?

Accepted Answer

See below: The aortic valve is the outflow valve and it is located on the left side of the heart. It opens to allow blood to leave the left ventricle and it closes to prevent backflow of blood into the ventricle.

Question 9

what is insufficiency of the aortic valve?

Accepted Answer

Aortic valve leak: Insufficiency of the aortic valve means the valve does not close properly.  The aortic valve, like the other three heart valves is a check valve (blood should only flow through it in one direction), when the valve is incompetent and does not close properly (many different reasons), some of the blood that left the left ventricle with systole, will return to the ventricle during diastole.

Question 10

how quickly does the aortic valve progress?

Accepted Answer

Aortic Valve Disease: Depends what condition you're asking about. There is a difference between leaking and narrowing, and then within each condition, progress is depending upon the cause of the problem. Since many parameters are involved, discuss with your doctor who has all the needed info.
