Aortic Regurgitation is a disease of the aortic valve, that usually stops blood from re-entering the heart once it has been pumped out. In Aortic regurgitation, the valve is a little ‘leaky’, and so some blood falls back through it into the heart. This means the heart has to work a lot harder to get blood out of the heart and into the body.
