Abstract

Aortic regurgitation (AR) is the third most frequently encountered valve lesion and may be caused by abnormalities of the valve cusps or the aorta. Echocardiography is instrumental in the assessment of AR as it enables the delineation of valvular morphology, the mechanism of the lesion and the grading of severity. Severe AR has a major impact on the myocardium and carries a significant risk of morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Established and novel echocardiographic methods, such as global longitudinal strain and three-dimensional echocardiography, allow an estimation of this risk and provide invaluable information for patient management and prognosis. This narrative review summarises the epidemiology of AR, reviews current practices and recommendations with regards to the echocardiographic assessment of AR and outlines novel echocardiographic tools that may prove beneficial in patient assessment and management.

主动脉瓣反流的超声心动图评估：综述。

主动脉瓣反流（AR）是第三大最常见的瓣膜病变，可能由瓣尖或主动脉异常引起。超声心动图有助于对 AR 进行评估，因为它可以确定瓣膜形态、病变机制和严重程度分级。严重的 AR 会对心肌产生重大影响，如果不及时治疗，会有很大的发病和死亡风险。现有的和新型的超声心动图方法，如全局纵向应变和三维超声心动图，可以估算出这种风险，并为患者管理和预后提供宝贵的信息。这篇叙述性综述总结了 AR 的流行病学，回顾了有关 AR 超声心动图评估的现行做法和建议，并概述了可能有助于患者评估和管理的新型超声心动图工具。

期刊介绍： Echo Research and Practice aims to be the premier international journal for physicians, sonographers, nurses and other allied health professionals practising echocardiography and other cardiac imaging modalities. This open-access journal publishes quality clinical and basic research, reviews, videos, education materials and selected high-interest case reports and videos across all echocardiography modalities and disciplines, including paediatrics, anaesthetics, general practice, acute medicine and intensive care. Multi-modality studies primarily featuring the use of cardiac ultrasound in clinical practice, in association with Cardiac Computed Tomography, Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance or Nuclear Cardiology are of interest. Topics include, but are not limited to: 2D echocardiography 3D echocardiography Comparative imaging techniques – CCT, CMR and Nuclear Cardiology Congenital heart disease, including foetal echocardiography Contrast echocardiography Critical care echocardiography Deformation imaging Doppler echocardiography Interventional echocardiography Intracardiac echocardiography Intraoperative echocardiography Prosthetic valves Stress echocardiography Technical innovations Transoesophageal echocardiography Valve disease.
