• Echocardiography is the first-line test to diagnose the presence and cause of AR. • Acute aortic syndromes should be excluded in patients with AR and a thickened aortic root. • Multimodal imaging with cardiac CT and MRI complement TTE and TEE to diagnose secondary causes of AR. • Aortitis is a potentially life-threatening disease, and is a rare cause of AR.
• 超声心动图是诊断主动脉反流(AR)的存在及其病因的一线检查。
• 对于有AR且主动脉根部增厚的患者,应排除急性主动脉综合征。
• 心脏CT和MRI的多模态成像可补充经胸超声心动图(TTE)和经食管超声心动图(TEE),以诊断AR的继发原因。
• 主动脉炎是一种潜在的危及生命的疾病,是AR的罕见病因。
