Heart valve replacements are more common than most people think. In the United States it is said that over 99‚000 heart valve surgeries are performed yearly. The majority of the valve replacement surgeries are to replace or repair the mitral or aortic valve‚ since the left side of the heart works harder than the right. There are several types of valve disease‚ the two most common are valvular stenosis and valvular insufficiency. Valvular stenosis occurs when the opening of the valve is smaller

Mitral Valve Prolapse Human Anatomy and Physiology II Kristen Ammen The mitral valve is located on the left side of the heart between the left atrium and left ventricle. The purpose of the mitral valve is to form a seal between these two chambers of the heart to prevent the back flow of blood. When blood enters the left side of the heart‚ it is oxygenated and enters through the pulmonary veins. The blood then travels through the left atrium; the bicuspid (mitral) valve then opens to let the

Aortic Valve Stenosis Aortic Valve Stenosis is the narrowing or obstruction of the heart ’s aortic valve. The aorta is a large artery that originates in the left ventricle (lower chamber) of the heart. The narrowing and obstruction of the aortic valve prevents it from opening properly and blocks the flow of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta and onward towards the rest of the body. Aortic valve stenosis occurs in approximately 5 out of every 10‚000 people.1 It occurs more commonly

vessel. What separates the semilunar valves from the atrioventricular (AV) valves is that the semilunar valves contain no presence of papillary muscles or chordae tendineae. This is because pressure within the heart falls in this area‚ thereby forcing the semilunar valves to close on their own. The hearts is a prime member of the circulatory system: the system that circulates blood and lymph through the body. The circulatory system consists of not only the heart‚ but the blood and a series of blood
