D001021	Aortic Valve	The valve between the left ventricle and the ascending aorta which prevents backflow into the left ventricle.	Aortic Valves,Valve, Aortic,Valves, Aortic
D001022	Aortic Valve Insufficiency	Pathological condition characterized by the backflow of blood from the ASCENDING AORTA back into the LEFT VENTRICLE, leading to regurgitation. It is caused by diseases of the AORTIC VALVE or its surrounding tissue (aortic root).

D001023	Aortic Valve Prolapse	The downward displacement of the cuspal or pointed end of the trileaflet AORTIC VALVE causing misalignment of the cusps. Severe valve distortion can cause leakage and allow the backflow of blood from the ASCENDING AORTA back into the LEFT VENTRICLE, leading to aortic regurgitation.
