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.
aortic regurgitation. the flow of blood from the aorta back into the left ventricle during diastole, resulting from a failure of the aortic valve to close completely. Also called aortic insufficiency. Effects of aortic regurgitation. Abnormal back flow of blood from the aorta through the aortic valve. In developing countries the valvular defect is mainly due to as complication of rheumatic fever; in Western countries the defect is usually congenital.
