What are the four types of heart valves? The heart is made up of four pumping chambers: Two atria:Upper chambers of the heart Two ventricles:Lower chambers of the heart There are valves between each of the heart's pumping chambers that open and close in coordination with each other. Their...
Diseased heart valves exhibit impairments such as narrowing of the valve or regurgitation, which inhibit the valves' ability to control blood flow. Such impairments reduce the heart's blood-pumping efficiency and can be a debilitating and life threatening condition. For example, valve insufficiency ...
When replacing a damaged heart valve there are different types of valves available, some are biological and some mechanical. 4 Tissue or 'biological' valves wear out over time and are therefor not always a good option for younger patients. Check Answers Cardiothoracic...
