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 (AR) is the diastolic flow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle (LV). Regurgitation is due to incompetence of the aortic valve or any disturbance of the valvular apparatus (eg, leaflets, annulus of the aorta) resulting in the diastolic flow of blood into the left ventricular chamber. Abnormalities of the ascending aorta, in the absence of valve pathology, may also cause AR.
