A member asked:
What would you say is the very best method/test for detecting aortic regurgitation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stethoscope: Exam by experienced cardiologist is often sufficient to tell if present or not. Once diagnosed, then echocardiogram to assess degree of leak and effects on the rest of the heart.
