What are the signs and symptoms of a leaky heart valve? Many healthy people may have one or more valves that are slightly leaky, which do not cause any problems. The severity of the symptoms depends on the severity of the heart valve leak. If heart valve leak is severe, it can affect...

Aleaky heart valvemight go unnoticed. Or it could cause health problems that could be either minor or serious. How serious a leaky heart valve is depends on how much it interferes with normalbloodflow through theheart. Treatments include medicines, surgical repair, or surgical replacement of the ...
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...
Mitral regurgitation is a debilitating, progressive and life-threatening disease in which the leaflets of the mitral valve do not close completely, causing blood to flow backward and leak into the left atrium of the heart during...
“Our study has implications for decision-making in surgical heart valve replacements for patients aged between 50 and 70 years old,” said Gianni Angelini, BHF Professor of Cardiac Surgery at the Bristol Medical School...

blood may leak backwards into the atrium each time the left ventricle contracts. Various procedures have been implemented to overcome valve insufficiency. These procedures include methods for restoring structural integrity to the valve annulus (a fibrous ring partially surrounding a heart valve) and/or...
