What is the life expectancy for someone who has an aortic valve regurgitation if not replaced?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Many patients live a full life with aortic insufficincy. However if the disease produces CHF or left heart dysfunction replcement is necessary. Pts with valve issues are at increased ridk for endocarditis. Hence antibiotics for dental work and other invasive procedures.
