Aortic valve regurgitation — or aortic regurgitation — is a condition that occurs when your heart's aortic valve doesn't close tightly. As a result, some of the blood pumped out of your heart's main pumping chamber (left ventricle) leaks backward. The leakage may prevent your heart from efficiently pumping blood to the rest of your body.
Differential Diagnosis. The heart murmur of aortic regurgitation must be differentiated from that of other valvular diseases. Acute aortic regurgitation (AR) is characterized by the presence of a low pitched early diastolic murmur that is best heard at the right 2nd intercostal space, decreased or absent S1, and increased P2.

1: Aortic (valve) insufficiency.
In mild aortic regurgitation less than 30 cc of blood leaks backwards per heart beat. The heart does not generally enlarge in this case. Moderate regurgitation – This is generally handled well and not associated with symptoms. Typically between 30-60cc of blood leaks backwards per heart beat.
Aortic regurgitation (AR), also known as aortic insufficiency, is a form of valvular heart disease that allows for the retrograde flow of blood back into the left ventricle. Chronic AR was initially described by Corrigan in the 19th century by observing syphilitic patients.
Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis I35. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I35. 0 became effective on October 1, 2021.

Aortic insufficiency is a heart valve disease where the aortic valve no longer functions adequately to control the flow of blood from the left ventricle into the aorta. Commonly, aortic insufficiency shows no symptoms for many years. Symptoms may then occur gradually or suddenly.
There are two main types of aortic valve disease: Regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve doesn't close properly. This is also known as aortic insufficiency or a leaky aortic valve because it lets blood leak back into the heart. Stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve that restricts blood flow.
Aortic regurgitation may be a chronic disease process or it may occur acutely, presenting as heart failure. The most common cause of chronic aortic regurgitation used to be rheumatic heart disease, but presently it is most commonly caused by bacterial endocarditis.
Aortic regurgitation, also known as aortic valve regurgitation or aortic valve insufficiency, occurs when the aortic valve doesn't completely close and allows some blood to leak back into the heart. Aortic regurgitation can be trivial, mild, moderate or severe.
A systolic murmur is a common presentation of aortic regurgitation detected by echocardiography.
Mitral valve regurgitation is a type of heart valve disease in which the valve between the left heart chambers doesn't close completely, allowing blood to leak backward across the valve. It is the most common type of heart valve disease (valvular heart disease).
Valvular heart disease is any disease process involving one or more of the four valves of the heart (the aortic and mitral valves on the left and the pulmonary and tricuspid valves on the right). These conditions occur largely as a result of aging. Most people are in their late 50s when diagnosed, and more than one in ten people over 75 have it.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I35.1 and a single ICD9 code, 424.1 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
