Heart Valve Disease

Heart Valve Disease

According to the American Heart Association, about 5 million Americans have been diagnosed with valvular heart disease every year.

What is valvular heart disease?

Heart valve disease occurs when the heart is not suitable for valve sports.

How do heart valves work?

Your heart is located in the valve at each of the four chambers and maintains unidirectional blood flow through your heart. To ensure four hearts, the free flow of blood is always in the direction of the valve, and there are no leaks backward.

Blood from the left side of the mitral and tricuspid valve open flows in the right ventricle and through its ventricle.

Heart Valve

When the ventricular is full, the mitral and the tricolor. It can prevent the flow of blood in the atria on the back (excretion) of ventricular contraction.

As the ventricular contract starts to contract, the pulmonary artery and the aortic valve are forcibly opened, through the blood, open valves, the pump lungs from the ventricles, towards the aorta and in the lung pulse in vivo.

The ventricles begin to relax and pass the complete shrinkage, the aorta and lung valves. These valves to prevent blood glucose in the ventricles.

This pattern is repeated repeatedly, resulting in continuous blood flow to the heart, lungs, and body.

There are several types of valve disease:

Valvular syndrome When opening the valve is less than the normal value, it will not be. Through the narrow opening, blood pump can be very difficult to make blood. It may be the symptoms of heart failure (see below). All four valves can be narrowed (hard, restricted to blood flow); The condition is a type of disease, a type of lung disease, mitral type disease, or aortic type disease.

The lack of valve, also known as ventilation, inability or "leaky valve", when the valve does not stop, what will it be. If the valve is not sealed, then some of the blood will leak back through the valve. With leakage worse, the heart valve should work hard to compensate for leakage, and fewer blood can flow to the rest of the body. The effect that is achieved by the valve is extracted for a tricuspid aperture, regurgitation of the lung, mitral regurgitation or aortic regurgitation.
