Content Inside:
The 4 valves of the heart are normally very efficient, providing almost no resistance to forward flow when open and nearly infinite resistance to backflow when closed. Valves that fail to open properly can create a significant impediment to forward flow. This is called stenosis. Valves that fail to close properly provide less than infinite resistance to backflow. This backflow is called regurgitation. In this exercise, well investigate the hemodynamic consequences of aortic valve regurgitation.
