Alerts clinicians to monitor peripheral signs in aortic insufficiency; leaves open prospective validation of progression markers.
MARKED changes in arterial blood pressure and peripheral circulation may occur during the life history of patients with aortic insufficiency. These changes reflect alterations in cardiac function and peripheral vasomotor activity. As such they may be the first clues to progression of the disease and the ultimate development of failure of the left ventricle.Lewis1 has emphasized the fact that the patient with aortic insufficiency is warm and flushed, with bounding arterial, capillary and venous pulsations, and that this is due to associated vasodilatation. He specifically excluded from this description patients with aortic insufficiency in the final stages of congestive . . .
