Insufficiency

This usually implies vata disturbance.

Insufficiency is used in describing many medical conditions and may refer to:

  • Aortic insufficiency (AI), also known as aortic regurgitation (AR), is the leaking of the aortic valve of the heart that causes blood to flow in the reverse direction during ventricular diastole, from the aorta into the left ventricle
  • Arterial insufficiency ulcer (also known as “Ischemic ulcers”) are mostly localed on the lateral surface of the ankle or the distal digits
  • Convergence insufficiency, a sensory and neuromuscular anomaly of the binocular vision system, characterized by an inability of the eyes to approach each other, or sustain convergence
  • Pulmonary valve insufficiency (or incompetence, or regurgitation) is a condition where the pulmonary valve is not strong enough to prevent backflow into the right ventricle
  • Tricuspid insufficiency, a valvular heart disease also called Tricuspid regurgitation, refers to the failure of the heart's tricuspid valve to close properly during systole
  • Venous insufficiency ulceration, as well as stasis dermatitis, is a skin condition that results from increased pressure in the venous system of the lower leg
  • Vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI), or vertebral basilar ischemia, refers to a temporary set of symptoms due to decreased blood flow in the posterior circulation of the brain
