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 has three flaps, except the mitral valve, which has two flaps.

Extractions: document.write(this_date_string) My Health Add to Favorites Find a Doctor Email this Page ... Prevention/Wellness The heart has four heart valves: the tricuspid, mitral, pulmonic and aortic valves. Healthy heart valves provide a one-way gate that allows blood to flow only in the desired direction. Each valve opens and closes with every heartbeat. Valves are comprised of thin, strong tissue attached to the heart muscle by a flexible hinge, called an annulus. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and right ventricle and is composed of three leaflets. In addition to the leaflets, this valve is comprised of relatively undefined valve "ring" (or annulus) that connects the leaflets to the heart, and muscular "chords" that connect the valve leaflets to the heart muscle. The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and left ventricle and is composed of two leaflets. In addition to the leaflets, this valve is comprised of a valve "ring" (or annulus) that connects the leaflets to the heart, muscular "chords" that connect the valve leaflets to the heart muscle.

The drugs used in combination may yield equivalent efficacy in weight reductions at lower doses of each agent and with fewer reported side effects. In 1996, the total number of prescriptions in the United States for fenfluramine and phentermine exceeded 18 million. Methods Valvular heart disease was identified in 24 women treated with fenfluramine-phentermine who had no previous history of cardiac disease. Patients presented with symptoms or a murmur. A perceived association between the clinical features and the fenfluramine-phentermine therapy evolved by communication among authors.
Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency tricuspid valve insufficiency occurs when a tricuspid valve does not close If a person has serious lung disease or a narrowing of the pulmonary valve, http://www.chclibrary.org/micromed/00069080.html
Extractions: The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle of the heart. When the right ventricle contracts, it is supposed to pump blood forward into the lungs. If the tricuspid valve does not close tightly, some of that blood leaks back into the right atrium. When the atrium receives its usual quantity of blood from veins leading to the heart, plus the leaking blood, the pressure inside the atrium increases. This higher pressure creates resistance to the flow of blood in the veins that enter the atrium from the body. In addition, this increase in pressure causes the right atrium to enlarge over time. Congestion from fluid buildup occurs, particularly in the liver and legs.

Extractions: Chairman-elect of the ESC Working Group on Valvular Heart Disease In 80% of cases, tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is said to be âfunctionalâ, but it is probable that TR is in fact often partly or mainly organic. Indeed, it would seem natural that by eliminating the triggering factor of TR, that is, by an adequate correction of the left heart valvular lesion, TR should regress (1). However, this does not always happen. On top of it being an âorganicâ disease (2), another reason for persistence or progression of TR may be an incomplete or unsatisfactory repair during surgery: the quality of the correction of the left sided valvular lesion is of paramount importance. But even in many cases of successful mitral valve surgery, progressive TR may develop. Then, one may ask: when should we repair/replace the tricuspid valve during mitral and/or aortic valve surgery?

Extractions: Heart Valve Disease, or the malfunctioning of heart valves, affects more than 5 million people each year. In a normal heart, the valves serve as the exit from each of the four chambers of the heart, and enable blood to flow freely in a forward direction. When the valves function properly blood flows only in one direction. When a valve malfunctions blood may flow backwards or the valve may not open completely interfering with the forward blood flow.

Extractions: Approximately 70,000 heart valve replacement procedures are performed annually in the United States for conditions ranging from Mitral Valve Stenosis resulting from rheumatic fever, Mitral Regurgitation from "floppy" valves, and Calcified Aortic Stenosis encountered in large numbers of aging patients, particularly elderly women. Mitral valve stenosis occurs predominantly in women. The reasons for this are unknown but it has been documented in virtually every clinical series about the disease since the turn of the century. The incidence of rheumatic disease has markedly decreased in the United States due to better prophylaxis treatment of streptococcal infections with the use of antibiotics. Paradoxically, the treatment of mitral valve stenosis may be increasing. The reasons are related to immigration and the incidence of rheumatic heart disease in third-world countries. Immigrants from southeast Asia and South and Central America currently comprise a large number of patients in the United States with rheumatic heart disease. Mitral valve regurgitation (also referred to as mitral valve prolapse or MVP) follows a very different path for a woman versus a man. The condition of mitral valve prolapse is commonly diagnosed in young females yet the incidence in elderly women decreases markedly. Conversely, there is a fairly consistent incidence of mitral prolapse in the male population at both young and old age. Recent studies have indicated that, for men, the incidence of mitral prolapse requiring surgical intervention is higher than for women and it increases with age (Wilcken DEL, HickeyAJ Liftime: Risk for patients with mitral valve prolapse of developing severe valve regurgitation requiring surgery.
