Key result
Echocardiography demonstrated premature opening of the aortic valve in late diastole in a patient with severe aortic regurgitation, coinciding with equalization of diastolic pressures.

Echocardiography can detect premature aortic valve opening in severe aortic regurgitation, providing insights into underlying hemodynamics.
Premature opening of the aortic valve in late diastole has been demonstrated by echocardiography in a patient with severe aortic regurgitation. Valve opening coincided with the end of the diastolic murmur and equalization of aortic and left ventricular diastolic pressures. Echocardiography of the aortic valve in severe aortic reflux may, therefore, provide valuable information about the underlying haemodynamic disturbance.

Page et al. (1975) conducted a case report in Severe aortic regurgitation (n=1). Echocardiography was evaluated on Premature opening of the aortic valve in late diastole. Echocardiography demonstrated premature opening of the aortic valve in late diastole in a patient with severe aortic regurgitation, coinciding with equalization of diastolic pressures.
