Abstract

t is important to diagnose and treat diseases of the aortic valve.Untreated aortic valve disease can eventually result in heart failure, severe infection, and even sudden death.Some patients present with severe symptoms, whereas others have few, if any symptoms.The diagnosis may be made on a routine physical examination.Regular medical follow-up, treatment to prevent infection of the valve (infective endocarditis), and optimal timing of surgery are necessary to avoid the severe consequences of improper function of the aortic valve.

  • The most common cause of non-congenital aortic constriction is aortic valve calcification, a gradual process leading to progressive hypertrophy and heart failure.

    “The most common cause of non-congenital aortic constriction is calcification of aortic valve which is a gradual progressive and not sudden process resulting in progressive cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure (Dweck, Boon, & Newby, 2012; Nishimura, 2002).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
