Regurgitation.This is when one of your heart valves doesn't close tightly, so blood can leak backward through the opening. Therefore, not all your blood flows forward through the valve and your heart has to work harder to make up for the leaky valve. Less blood flows to the rest of your...
The atrioventricular (AV) valves are located in the middle of the heart between the atria and ventricles and only allow blood to flow from the atria into the ventricles. The AV valve on the right side of the heart is called the tricuspid valve because it is made of three cusps (flaps) ...
to be secured in a heart valve orifice, a generally conical support structure carried by the ring- like part, and a plurality of flaps connected to the ring-like part and arranged on the outside of the support structure to cover a plurality of respective openings in the support structure. ...

Furthermore, SAS may arise as part of an obstructive lesion complex that typically includes mitral stenosis and coarctation of the aorta [5]. The peak systolic phase jet flow impacts the aortic valve flaps, leading to harm, scarring, excess flaps, and prolapse, making the valve more ...
In the right ventricle, the inlet valve is the tricuspid valve, and the outlet valve is the pulmonic (pulmonary) valve. Each valve consists of flaps (cusps or leaflets), which open and close like one-way swinging doors. The mitral valve has two cusps. The other valves ...
