Specializes in Cardiology

Aortic valve: The closure of the aortic valve determines the diastolic number; if the valve leaks, the diastolic blood pressure is lower. A careful cardiac exam can often detect a leak and an echocardiogram can confirm its presence and determine whether or not the leak is significant.
