Systolic aortic regurgitation: a rare phenomenon.
We describe a case of an elderly man admitted to our hospital with syncope and a slow pulse rate. An echocardiogram showed both diastolic as well as systolic aortic regurgitation. Careful analysis of the clinical data, electrocardiogram and echocardiogram revealed that systolic aortic regurgitation was related to syncope in a very interesting fashion.
