Echocardiogram (echo) — takes pictures of your heart to determine if the heart valves are leaking. Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) — can detect heart arrhythmias. Chest x-ray — can show an enlarged left ventricle. Cardiac catheterization — can determine how much blood is leaking from the ao...
Heart valve prostheses have been used successfully since 1960. As stated by Roberts [1] the 1960s will probably be remembered most in the annals of cardiology as the decade during which cardiac valve replacement became a successful reality. Of the more than 50 different cardiac valves introduced ...
A cross-sectional study of 50 randomly selected patients 12-36 months following mechanical heart valve replacement with Bjork-Shiley tilting disc valves was undertaken to investigate the factors which affect perception of, and reaction to, sounds generated by mechanical heart valves implanted in patients...

Artificial heart valves were first used in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Following the success of these early implants, the replacement of diseased or damaged valves with prosthetic substitutes rapidly became accepted as a routine clinical procedure. During the next 30 years, the field of heart...
and bad breath, it can also protect your heart. Gum disease can lead to inflammation, causing harmful bacteria to enter your bloodstream and make their way toward your heart, potentially damaging its valves. If you’re having problems with red, swollen gums, make an appointment with your ...
Rheumatic Heart Disease (RHD) is the sequel of single or recurrent rheumatic fever with damage to heart valves [10]. It is prevalent in developing continents like Africa with limited access to health care interventions [11, 12]. Ethiopia is among the highest RHD or RHD-endemic nations in ...

Heart murmurs Normally, blood flows from one heart chamber to another, passing through little doors called valves that open and close. But, if there is a problem with one of the valves, blood flow becomes turbulent, causing a whooshing or raspy sound called amurmur. ...
