Valvular Heart Disease There are four valves in the heart. These valves allow the blood to flow one way, but not another. When blood enters the heart from the body, it goes through the tricuspid valve. Next, the blood goes to the lungs to get rid of carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. When it is pumped to the lungs it goes out the heart past the pulmonic valve. After blood passes through the lungs, it re enters the heart. The blood carrying oxygen first goes past the mitral valve. Next, the blood is pumped out to the body. The last valve the blood goes by before it leaves the heart is the aortic valve. To work properly, each valve must open and close completely at the right time. If a valve is scarred so that it is stiff and cannot open well, it is "stenotic". A stenotic valve forms a narrowed passage, making the heart work harder to pump blood. This can make the heart wall thicker. When a valve does not close completely, so that blood goes backwards, it is "insufficient" or "incompetent". This makes the heart work harder by causing it to pump some of the same blood twice. When this happens the heart, or one of its four chambers gets bigger. The heart valves can become diseased for many reasons. Sometimes the valves are not normal at birth. Rheumatic fever used to be a common cause of valve disease, but it is not seen much any more. Bacteria can infect the heart valves. This is called bacterial endocarditis. Injured valves makes a sound as the blood passes through them. This sound is called a murmur and is best heard through a stethoscope. Not all murmurs mean that there is a valve problem. Also, not all valve problems cause problems for the patient. Many people live a normal life with a small amount of valve disease.

Glossary Valvular Heart Disease and Endocarditis Because of your valvular heart condition you are at an increased risk for a heart valve infection called bacterial endocarditis. Bacterial endocarditis can occur whenever bacteria enters your bloodstream and attaches to your abnormal valve. The more abnormal your valve, the greater the risk of endocarditis. Bacteria can enter the bloodstream during surgical procedures or dental work. Even minor surgery or teeth cleaning can allow bacterial invasion of the blood. In normal health, your body's defenses combat bacteria, but in the presence of valvular heart disease, the bacteria can hide and grow on your heart valve. Procedures such as endoscopies can also increase the risk of bacterial endocarditis. Endocarditis can be prevented by the administration of antibiotics immediately before and after the procedure. Usually, oral medication is sufficient, but in some situations intravenous antibiotics are required. It is important that you notify the physician or dentist who will be performing the procedure to inform them of your valvular heart condition. In many instances, they will prescribe your antibiotic. If any uncertainty exists, please contact your cardiologist for further assistance. These precautions can help you reduce the risk of a serious, life-threatening infection. If you have further questions, please contact your physician.

Glossary Valvular Heart Disease There are four valves in your heart which act like one-way doors. The heart valves open and close with each beat of your heart and control the direction of blood flow. If, however, one of your valves becomes diseased or damaged by birth defects, rheumatic fever, infection, or the aging process, there may be disruption of the blood flow through the heart. When this happens, the heart is forced to work harder, to try to get the oxygen-rich blood to the rest of your body, and you may experience chest pains, shortness of breath, dizziness, become easily fatigued, or experience other symptoms. Generally, the aortic and mitral valves are most often affected. http://www.advocatehealth.com 1.800.3.ADVOCATE / TDD 630.990.4700 About Us Health Info Programs and Services Jobs and Education ...

Living with valve disease According to the American Heart Association, about 5 million Americans are diagnosed with valvular heart disease each year. What Is Valvular Heart Disease? Heart valve disease occurs when your heart's valves do not work the way they should. How Do Heart Valves Work? Your heart valves lie at the exit of each of your four heart chambers and maintain one-way blood flow through your heart. The four heart valves make sure that blood always flows freely in a forward direction and that there is no backward leakage. Blood flows from your right and left atria into your ventricles through the open mitral and tricuspid valves. When the ventricles are full, the mitral and tricuspid valves shut. This prevents blood from flowing backward into the atria while the ventricles contract (squeeze). As the ventricles begin to contract, the pulmonic and aortic valves are forced open and blood is pumped out of the ventricles through the open valves into the pulmonary artery toward the lungs, the aorta, and the body.

Not all valve problems cause problems for the patient. Many people live a normal life with a small amount of valve disease. TESTS to diagnose valve problems include ultrasound testing, where sound waves are bounced off the heart valves to show how they move during the heart's beating. Another test involves injecting a dye into the bloodstream while x-rays are taken of the heart.

What causes valve problems? What are the symptoms of valve diseases? Treatment What is valvular heart disease? Valvular heart disease is any dysfunction or abnormality of one or more of the heart's four valves. The four valves of the heart are: The Tricuspid Valve The tricuspid valve is a flap that lies between the right atrium and the right ventricle. When it opens it allows the impure (de-oxygenated) blood collected in the right atrium to flow into the right ventricle. When the right ventricle contracts it closes and prevents blood from flowing back into the right atrium. Pulmonary Valve The de-oxygenated blood sent out of the right atrium flows into the right ventricle. When the ventricle contracts, the pulmonary valve opens and lets the blood flow out of the heart into the pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery takes it to the lungs for purification (oxygenation). The Pulmonary valve closes as the ventricles relax, preventing de oxygenated blood from returning to the heart. Mitral Valve The mitral valve is a flap that lies between the left atrium and the left ventricle. The pulmonary vein brings oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium. The mitral valve opens to allow this blood to flowing into the left ventricle. It closes as the left ventricle contracts, preventing blood from flow back into the left atrium; thereby, forcing it to exit through the aortic valve into the aorta.

The human heart contains four one-way valves that assure efficient unidirectional blood flow through the lungs and the systemic circulation. The two valves that most commonly become diseased and are responsible for the vast majority of clinical heart valve disease are the inlet (mitral) and outlet (aortic) valves of the main pumping chamber of the heart, the left ventricle. The valve may have a defect such as artificial narrowing (stenosis) which restricts blood flow, or may be weakened and cause regurgitation (where the blood is re-directed in the wrong direction). This disease may be caused by damage to the heart muscle as a result of rheumatic fever or a congenital abnormality. Over time, valve disease can cause the heart muscle to become overworked, and if left untreated can cause even further damages. Anatomy of the Valves Click on image for more information The mitral valve is the inflow valve to the left ventricle and is positioned between the left atrium, which receives blood from the lungs and the left ventricle. The mitral valve opens during relaxation of the left ventricle (diastole) and allows blood from the atrium to fill the ventricle. Contraction of the ventricle (systole) causes a rapid increase of pressure in the ventricle, which in turn results in closure of the mitral valve.
