What event results in the pressure deflection called the dicrotic notch?
When the aortic semilunar valve snaps shut, a momentary increase in the aortic pressure results from the elastic recoil of the aorta after valve closure.
What is a separating aorta?
"Separating aorta" might refer to an aortic dissection. An aortic dissection is a life-threatening aortic condition in which the inner layer of the aorta is torn. This causes blood to collect in the space between the two layers. This blocks blood flow, causes the tear to enlarge and weakens the outer wall of the aorta, which can lead to this wall rupturing. Medical attention at a center specializing in aortic disease should be sought immediately for suspected aortic dissection.
What is dilated aorta?
A dilated aorta is an aorta that is wider than normal. This is indicative of an aortic aneurysm, or a bulging of the aorta due to a weakening in the walls of the aorta. Aortic aneurysms are dangerous because they can cause the walls of the aorta to tear--aortic dissection--or rupture completely, leading to severe internal bleeding. Aortic aneurysms are repaired with surgery, but can sometimes be monitored to avoid or delay surgery. Because of the life-threatening risks associated with aortic aneurysm, medical consultation should be sought.
What is the normal aortic valve size for someone with a body surface area of 18m2?

Aortic semi-lunar vlave has how many pocketlike flaps of tissue?

What is chronic dilation and distension of the bronchial walls?

What causes lower left abdominal distension but not a hernia?
Left lower abdominal distension often times is the result of constipation. The fecal material backs up into the ascending colon causing distension. I the absence of constipation, there could be diverticuli, a weakening in the colon wall causing a "pouch to form.
What happens when the aortic valve is 5.7cm?
Aortic stenosis
What is tortuous aortic arch?
It is an aortic arch with an aneurysm.
When is aortic valve replacement necessary?
Aortic valve replacement is necessary when the aortic valve has become diseased. The aortic valve can suffer from insufficiency (inability to perform adequately) or stenosis.
What is Edema or distension of neck veins?
Swelling from pressure internaly
