Overview

Aortic insufficiency of hypertensive type is usually diagnosed by exclusion of other causes of aortic insufficiency; such as rheumatic aortic insufficiency, or aortic insufficiency due to syphilis. Aortic insufficiency must be clinically differentiated from other cardiac or pulmonary conditions with similar symptoms such as mitral regurgitation.

Differential Diagnosis

Acute Aortic Insufficiency

• Rheumatic Fever
• Bacterial Endocarditis
• Aortic dissection
• Blunt chest trauma
• After aortic balloon valvotomy
• Myxomatous aortic valve
• Other valvular disease

Chronic Aortic Insufficiency

• Rheumatic Fever
• Hypertension
• Aortic Dissection
• Bacterial Endocarditis
• Bicuspid aortic valve
• Arteriosclerosis
• Cystic medianecrosis of aorta
• Pseudoxanthoma Elasticum
• Myxomatous aortic valve
• Ventricular Septal Defect
• Sinus of Valsalva Aneurysm
• Bechterew's Disease
• Turner's Syndrome
• Marfan Syndrome
• Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Ankylosing Spondylitis
• Reiter's Syndrome
• Polymyalgia Rheumatica
• Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
• Syphilis
• Weight loss medications
