Aortic Regurgitation ( Acute and chronic ) - Usmle step 1 cardiovascular physiology Aortic insufficiency (AI), also known as aortic regurgitation (AR), is the leaking of the aortic valve of the heart that causes blood to flow in the reverse direction during ventricular diastole, from the aorta into the left ventricle.
