PG FAI Cat A

PG FAI Cat A (Progressive Fibrous Aortic Insufficiency Category A) refers to a specific classification of progressive leakage (insufficiency) in the aortic valve caused by fibrous tissue buildup. "Category A" indicates a particular stage where the valve damage is significant but still primarily fibrous, without advanced calcification or deterioration. This condition can lead to the heart working harder to pump blood, potentially causing symptoms like fatigue or shortness of breath over time. Proper diagnosis and management are essential to prevent worsening heart function and related complications.
