Abstract
The valves of the heart and their diseases have generated a great deal of interest since ancient times. The early observations regarding valvular deformities were confined to the morbid changes with no reference to the hemodynamic significance. The classic clinical signs of aortic valve insufficiency indicating hemodynamic disturbances were described later. The historical background and original descriptions of these classic signs of aortic valve insufficiency are presented.
