   Extractions: It is easily understood that the muscle that we call the heart must continue to pump with adequate force to pump the blood that the body needs. "Valves" however are extremely important to the heart's efficiency. These delicate structures allow for the efficient flow of blood progressively forward through the heart's chambers, maximizing the efficiency of the heart muscle's work. In the animation above, the Tricuspid Valve (between the right atrium and right ventricle) and the Pulmonic Valve (between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery) are illustrated to be working normally. After the right ventricle contracts, pressure is low in the chamber. The Tricuspid Valve, which had been closed from the pressure generated from the ventricle's contraction, now opens as the pressure of the blood from the right atrium has built up while the Tricuspid Valve was closed. The right ventricle will again contract, closing the Tricuspid Valve again, and pushing open the Pulmonic Valve. Once the right ventricle completes its contraction, the pressure in the pulmonary artery will be higher than in the right ventricle, and the Valve will close. The valves on the left side of the heart, the Aortic Valve and the Mitral Valve however, are not working properly. Blood returns from the lungs and empties into the left atrium. In this illustration, the Mitral Valve opens properly when the left ventricle is finished contracting, and allows blood to flow into the left ventricle easily. When the left ventricle contracts however, blood is shown to flow back into the left atrium through the Mitral Valve. This backward flow of blood is called

   Extractions: What is Valvular Heart Disease? There are four chambers of the heart, two on the right side and two on the left. The upper chamber on the right side (right atrium) receives blood returned from various parts of the body and then empties to the right lower chamber (right ventricle). There is a valve between the right atrium and the ventricle, called tricuspid valve . This valve allows emptying of blood from the right atrium into the right ventricle and then closes to prevent the return of blood back into the right atrium. The other heart valves to be described later have similar functions i.e. regulating forward blood flow and preventing backward return. The right ventricle pumps the blood into the lungs where it gets oxygen. The blood here goes through another valve called the pulmonary valve .The blood is received by the left upper chamber (atrium) after it has received oxygen in the lungs. Then the left atrium empties the blood into the left lower chamber (ventricle) via a valve called the mitral valve . Finally, the blood is pumped from the left lower chamber (ventricle) to various parts of the body for supplying oxygen. The blood leaves the left ventricle via another valve called the

   Extractions: Valves that leak cause the heart to have to pump the same blood twice . . . that is, a part of the work of the heart simply is for no good purpose, as the blood comes right back into the chamber. The heart has a number of ways it can compensate for this extra work. The first tendency is for the chambers to enlarge, since there is more blood to pump (the blood it usually would need to pump to the rest of the body plus the regurgitated blood). This is usually quite effective if the leakage is mild or moderate, and the person may not even realize there is any problem at all. In more severe cases, the heart muscle may begin to wear down. Congestive heart failure may then result, characterized by shortness of breath, swelling of the ankles, and other symptoms. The enlarged chambers may also lead to problems with arrhythmias.

In this article, Drs Harris and Robiolio summarize the initial patient assessment, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options for mitral regurgitation, aortic insufficiency, mitral stenosis, and aortic stenosis. Harris KM, Robiolio P. Valvular heart disease: identifying and managing mitral and aortic lesions. Postgrad Med 1999;106(7):113-28 A dvances in the noninvasive evaluation of valvular lesions have significantly improved the clinician's ability to diagnose and follow the progression of valvular heart disease. Often, cardiac catheterization is necessary only in patients referred for surgery or mitral valvuloplasty. Once a valve lesion is identified, endocarditis prophylaxis is necessary and is often the only medical treatment indicated. Some patients with aortic insufficiency have been shown to benefit from medical treatment. However, no definitive medical treatment has been shown to change the natural history of other valvular lesions.

F amily physicians routinely encounter patients with valvular heart disease. Although major advances in our understanding of this disease have been made in the past two decades, only recently has there been evidence-based literature from which to draw conclusions about its diagnosis and management. The American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Task Force recently published comprehensive practice guidelines to help clinicians manage this challenging disorder. Improved surgical techniques, noninvasive techniques for surveillance of left ventricular function and guidelines for the timing of surgery have likely combined to contribute to improved survival and decreased morbidity in patients with chronic valvular heart disease.

    Extractions: The human heart consists of four chamberstwo upper chambers (the atria) and two lower chambers (the ventricles)which are responsible for pumping blood. The heart valves are like one-way doors, which open and close with each beat of the heart, controlling the blood flow from one chamber to the next. Each of these valves is made up of a few thin folds of tissue. When functioning correctly, they keep blood from flowing backwards into a chamber when closed. The four valves function in the following manner: The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It is the only valve with two flaps, or cusps. The tricuspid valve is located on the right side of the heart, between the right atrium and right ventricle. It is made up of three cusps, each a different size.
