Insuficiencia aórtica - Prevention

Nombres alternativos

Regurgitación aórtica; Prolapso de la válvula aórtica

Prevención:

Trate las infecciones por estreptococos oportunamente para prevenir la fiebre reumática, que puede llevar a una insuficiencia aórtica. La insuficiencia aórtica causada por otras afecciones a menudo no se puede prevenir, pero sí algunas de sus complicaciones.

Siga las recomendaciones de tratamiento médico para las afecciones que puedan producir una valvulopatía y notifíquele al médico si tiene antecedentes familiares de cardiopatías congénitas.

El control de la presión arterial es particularmente importante si usted está en riesgo de regurgitacion aórtica.
