Extractions: "I feel like a second class citizen. How come no one is taking this seriously?" The story is all too familiar. First, you search for a diagnosis. After several visits with a physician and multiple tests, you're finally given a reason for the symptoms, and then tolddon't worry. Now the questions begin. "What do I have? Mitral valve what? What does that mean? Will it get worse? Does my valve have to be replaced? Am I having a heart attack because I have chest pain? Will this affect my pregnancy? Is this common? How can I feel better?" More than likely, you had similar thoughts and questions when you were first diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse. Perhaps you still have a number of questions. Let me begin by telling you, you are not alone. You are among millions of people with MVP or MVPers.

Extractions: to Spanish German French Italian Portuguese Valve Disease Overview Aortic Valve Disorders Mitral Valve Disorders Aortic Valve Repair and Replacement Mitral Valve Repair and Replacement Valvular heart disease occurs when the heart's valves no longer help regulate blood flow. 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.

There is a valve through which blood passes before leaving each chamber of the heart. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. These valves are actual flaps that are located on each end of the two ventricles (lower chambers of the heart). They act as one-way inlets of blood on one side of a ventricle and one-way outlets of blood on the other side of a ventricle. Each valve actually has three flaps, except the mitral valve, which has two flaps. The four heart valves include the following:

Extractions: (En español) Diseases of the heart valves are grouped according to which valve or valves are involved and the amount of blood flow that is disrupted by the problem. The most common and serious valve problems happen in the mitral and aortic valves. Diseases of the tricuspid and pulmonary valves are fairly rare. The mitral valve regulates the flow of blood from the upper-left chamber (the left atrium) to the lower-left chamber (the left ventricle). Here we will discuss 3 diseases of the mitral valve: mitral valve prolapse, mitral regurgitation, and mitral stenosis.

http://www.nmh.org/nmh/heart/heartvalvedisease/main.htm

Extractions: Cardiovascular Support Groups ... Cardiovascular Institute There are four major valves in a person's heart that direct blood flow forward through the chambers of the heart. Heart valve disease can occur with any one or a combination of the valves, and it will often lead to heart failure if left untreated. Diseases of the mitral or aortic valves (the valves of the left side of the heart) are most common affecting over 5 percent of the population. Heart valve disease implies that a valve either fails to open properly (stenosis) or fails to close properly allowing backward flow of blood (regurgitation). Our Center for Valve Disease within the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute is led by Robert Bonow, MD
