An analysis of 14 autopsy cases of functional aortic insufficiency revealed that the majority had definite arteriosclerotic changes and 11 of 14 had high diastolic pressures.

The author highlights that high diastolic pressure may be a valuable sign in diagnosing functional aortic insufficiency, based on an analysis of 14 autopsy cases.

An analysis of his cases reveals that he included in this category patients who had a diastolic aortic murmur during life, but who showed no crippling of the aortic valves at autopsy. Among this group, the majority presented definite arteriosclerotic changes and several had a double aortic murmur.Of the 14 cases reported all but three (cases 4, 5, and 12) had high diastolic pressures: thus, case 2 had a diastolic pressure of 110; case 3, 110; case 6, 96; case 7,...Bibliography1.

Samuel A. Loewenberg (1940) conducted an editorial in Functional aortic insufficiency (n=14). Diastolic aortic murmur without valve crippling was evaluated. An analysis of 14 autopsy cases of functional aortic insufficiency revealed that the majority had definite arteriosclerotic changes and 11 of 14 had high diastolic pressures.
