Pulse pressure in severe aoic regurgitation is equal to-: (A) 30-45mmHg, (B) 45-60mmHg, (C) 60-75 mmHg, (D) 75-90 mm Hg
Answer is D. Therefore, a defining characteristic of aoic regurgitation is an increase in aoic pulse pressure (systolic minus diastolic pressure). ... Early in the course of regurgitant aoic valve disease, there is a large increase in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and left atrial pressure.pulse pressure usually between 75-90 mm/hg Ref Davidson 23rd edition pg 450
