Severe Aortic Regurgitation

This flowchart categorizes causes of severe aortic regurgitation (AR) into chronic and acute forms. Chronic AR may arise from leaflet abnormalities due to infections, inflammatory conditions, or structural issues, while aortopathy-related AR is associated with genetic conditions or degenerative changes. Acute AR can result from traumatic or infectious events affecting either the leaflet or aortic root.
