Extractions: University of Iowa Valvular heart disease can affect any of the 4 valves of the heart. Only 4 valves service the heart. Their job is to allow the blood to flow through the heart in only one direction. To work properly, each valve must open and close completely at the right time. The heart valves can develop problems or disease for many reasons. Sometimes the valves are not normal at birth. Rheumatic fever can cause valve disease. Bacteria can infect the heart valves. Injured valves make a sound as the blood passes through them. The sound is called a murmur and is best heard through a stethoscope. Not all murmurs mean that there is a valve problem. A stenotic valve is stiff and cannot open well because it has narrowed. This makes it harder for blood to pass through it. It also may allow blood to leak backward through it. Treatment depends on how well the valve functions. A valve that does not close completely, so that blood goes backwards, is referred to as "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, and one or more of its four chambers, get bigger. Not all valve problems cause problems for the patient. Many people live a normal life with a small amount of valve disease.

Description The human heart consists of four chamberstwo upper chambers (the atria) and two lower chambers (the ventricles) that 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. The aortic valve is located on the left side of the heart and opens to allow blood to leave the heart from the left ventricle into the aorta, which is the main artery of the body. It closes to prevent blood from flowing back into the left ventricle.

Extractions: Comprehensive updated online information about diving and undersea medicine for the non-medical diver, the non-diving medical professional and an excellent reference source for the diving medical specialist. Valvular and Congenital Heart Disease Patients that have valvular or some form of congenital heart disease have an excess strain situation that is particularly susceptible to the effects of increased exercise and blood shifting intoo the heart and lungs due to water immersion. The presence of an abnormality per se is not a contraindication to diving. In the case of intracardiac shunts due to holes in the walls, and in the presence of significant valve narrowing or widening inside the heart, diving is contraindicated.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: 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.

http://www.uphs.upenn.edu/surgery/clin/ct/valvular.html

Extractions: Within the heart are four valves that regulate the direction of blood flow through the heart, the tricuspid, pulmonic, mitral, and aortic valves. These valves can become leaky and improperly allow blood to flow backwards through the heart, a condition called regurgitation or insufficiency. Valves can also become narrowed and make it difficult for the heart to pump blood through to the body, a condition called stenosis. Most commonly, the aortic and mitral valves, which are on the more important left side of the heart, are affected. When regurgitation or stenosis are mild, patients are treated with medications. Typically, valvular disease will progress in severity over time and will require surgical replacement or repair. Whenever possible surgeons will attempt to repair a patients valve prior to replacement, particularly with the mitral valve. There are many valve replacement options utilizing biological or mechanical materials. Valve operations have become safer and replacement valves have become more durable.
