Aortic insufficiency is also known as aortic regurgitation, precisely because it is characterized by the return of blood from the aorta to the left ventricle.
Aortic insufficiency complicates the normal development of blood circulation and this triggers a series of consequences, which further affect the health of the heart.
Aortic insufficiency is included in the list of heart diseases better known as valvulopathies, ie diseases of the heart valves; other examples of valvulopathies are aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, mitral valve prolapse, mitral insufficiency, etc.
