In valvular heart disease, one or more valves in your heart are not working properly....there are four valves in your heart....they are the **mitral**, tricuspid, **aortic**, and pulmonary valves....the valves make sure that the blood opens in one direction or doesn't close in one direction in some cases...correctly....this condition can cause blood to flow from It is disturbed through the heart to the body.... The treatment of heart valve disease depends on the damaged heart valve and the type and severity of the disease.... Sometimes heart valve disease requires surgery to repair or replace the valve....
**What are heart valve diseases?** Valvular heart disease occurs when the valves in your heart do not work properly.. Valvular heart disease can be caused by a narrowing of the valve or valve failure.. As a result, the amount of blood that can pass through the valve is reduced.. If the narrowing is mild, the overall function of the heart may not be impaired.. Other organs in the body may not receive enough blood flow. Some people with heart valve disease may have no symptoms for years. When signs and symptoms do appear, they may include: - Heart murmurs (called abnormal heart sounds) can be detected when the doctor listens to the heart with a stethoscope.... - Chest pain - Abdominal swelling (more common with advanced tricuspid regurgitation) - Fatigue Shortness of breath, especially when exercising or lying down - Leg swelling, especially in the ankle area - Dizziness - fainting - Irregular heartbeat **When should you see a doctor?** If you have symptoms that may indicate valvular heart disease, see your general practitioner... If you have a heart murmur, your doctor may suggest that you see a cardiologist.. ** Causes of valvular heart disease ** The four heart valves that keep blood flowing in the right direction are the mitral, tricuspid, pulmonary, and aortic valves. Each valve has flaps that open and close once per heartbeat.. If one or more valves do not open or close properly, blood flow through the heart to your body is impaired **.. It may be a heart attack at birth.. Valve problems** Heart valve problems include: ### **failure** The valve flaps don't close properly, causing blood to leak backwards into your heart.... This is usually due to the valve flaps bulging backwards, called prolapse.... ### **Valvular Stenosis** When the flaps harden and fuse together, it leads to narrowing of the valve and reduction of blood flow in the valves.... ### **Valve obstruction or atresia** This complication can be expected when the valve is not formed and a layer of tissue blocks the blood flow between the heart chambers.... **risk factors** **in heart valve diseases** Several factors can increase the risk of heart valve disease, including: - Increasing age - History of certain infections that can affect the heart - History of certain types of heart diseases or heart attacks - High blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and other risk factors for heart disease - Heart diseases at birth (congenital heart disease)
**complications** **in heart valve diseases** Heart valve disease can cause many complications, including: - Heart failure - stroke - Blood clotting - Heart rhythm disorders - death
**Treatment of valvular heart diseases The treatment of heart valve disease depends on the symptoms, the severity of the disease and the deterioration of the patient's condition.... The cardiologist performs the treatment required by the patient.... The treatment may be regular clinical examinations by the doctor... Possible recommendations of the doctor to the patient: - Making changes in lifestyle - Having a healthy diet - Taking medicine to treat symptoms and problems Also, if you have an irregular heart rhythm and to reduce the risk of blood clots, blood thinners such as aspirin can be used.
