Now, following the above steps: 1  The parent hydrocarbon chain has 23 carbons. It is called tricosa-. 2  The functional groups with the highest precedence are the two ketone groups. The groups are on carbon atoms 3 and 9. 3  The side chains are: an ethyl- at carbon 4, an ethyl- at carbon 8, and a butyl- at carbon 12.
1 doctor agreed: 1  AORTIC REGURGITATION: Aortic regurgitation is reflux of blood through an incompetent aortic valve into the left ventricle during ventricular diastole (relaxation). During ventricular systole (contraction), blood is pumped from the left ventricle into the aorta. Because of a leaky aortic valve, the pumped blood returns to the left ventricle.
It is a condition in which blood flows backward from a widened or weakened aortic valve into the heart's lower chamber (the left ventricle). The most serious form of aortic regurgitation is caused by an infection that leaves holes in the valve leaflets. Symptoms of aortic regurgitation may not appear for years. When symptoms do appear, it is because the left ventricle must work harder to make up for the backflow of blood. The ventricle eventually gets larger, causing a backup of fluid.
