[Acute aortic insufficiency. Diagnostic and prognostic value of cardiac ultrasonic Doppler].
Although infrequent, acute aortic insufficiency must be identified at an early stage. The clinical picture is often deceptive. Ultrasonic cardiography and cardiac Doppler represent, today, a diagnostic technique of choice which specify the mechanism of the acute valve leakage, the condition of the ascending aorta and the repercussions on the left ventricle.
