A member asked:
My husband is in hosp getting ready to have radio therapy ablation for his wpw, dr came in & said that he has a aortic valve leak. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Aortic valve: The valve opens to allow flow out of the heart to the body. If it doesn't open properly we call this stenosis. It has to close properly to keep blood flowing in a forward direction. If it doesn't we call this insufficiency. Either or both abnormalities can exist in the valve.
