Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the physiological effects of aortic insufficiency, a heart condition where the aortic valve fails to close properly. The author meticulously examines this condition through a series of experiments conducted on dogs over a one-year period. The book provides a detailed analysis of the left ventricle's response to aortic insufficiency, focusing on its dimensions, wall thickness, and contractile function. The author presents data from echocardiography, angiography, and hemodynamic measurements to demonstrate how the left ventricle adapts to the increased workload caused by the leaky valve. The study reveals that while the left ventricle initially dilates and undergoes eccentric hypertrophy, its function surprisingly declines over time despite the increased muscle mass. This observation challenges the prevailing notion that ventricular hypertrophy always signifies improved function. The book's findings highlight the complex interplay between volume overload and ventricular function in aortic insufficiency. It offers valuable insights for medical professionals seeking to understand the pathophysiology of this condition and develop better treatment strategies for patients with aortic valve disease.
