There are many other rarer CHDs which may occur in isolation or in various combinations, including problems with heart valves, the heart muscle (hypertrophy) or the blood vessels in and around the heart. CHD in China A recent study has been the largest prevalence study ever performed about CHD...

RHD is chronic damage to the heart valves resulting from acute rheumatic fever (ARF), an abnormal autoimmune reaction to Group A Streptococcal (‘Strep A’) infection of the throat or skin [2]. The term RHD is used in this article to refer broadly to all the disease stages (see Table...
A person’s heartbeat is the sound of the valves in his/her’s heart contracting or expanding as they force blood from one region to another. The number of times the heart beats per minute (BPM), is the heartbeat rate and the beat of the heart that can be felt in any artery that ...
Their main characteristics are as follows (Figure 2): (1) bilaterally symmetrical shell, consisting of two valves (two convex halves of the shell); laterally compressed body enclosed within two calcareous, lateral shells, each usually with a beaklike umbo (swollen area near shell's anterior), ...
The major part of the ventricular filling occurs immediately on opening of the AV valves, when the blood that had returned to the atria during the previous ventricular systole is abruptly released into the relaxing ventricles. This period of ventricular filling is called the rapid filling phase....
and is divided into four chambers: twoatriaand two ventricles. Theright atriumand ventricle are often referred to as the right heart while theleft atriumand ventricle are often referred to as the left heart.

This can be a superior or an inferior sinus venosus type of ASD, being related...
III Early Embryogenesis of Heart Valves: The Origins of Cardiac Valve Cell Populations The early embryonic heart (around E8.5 in the mouse) mainly consists of two concentric tissue layers, the outer contractile myocardium and the inner endocardium. They are separated by a thick extracellular matrix...
