Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The flaps (cusps) of the aortic valve become thick and stiff, or they fuse together. These problems cause the valve opening to become narrow.
Detailed explanation-2: -Any valve in the heart can become diseased, but the aortic valve is most commonly affected.
Detailed explanation-3: -Aortic regurgitation allows some of the blood that was pumped out of the left ventricle to leak back in. As the left ventricle works harder to keep pushing blood through the aortic valve, it may eventually become enlarged and weakened. A weakened left ventricle may lead to heart failure.
