DISORDERS cardiac valve
Disease information
DISORDERS cardiac valve
The heart
has
four valves that control the flow and amount of blood that enters and leaves its cameras, the auricles and the ventricles. These valves are the mitrales and the tripeaks.
A
defect or
disease
in
anyone
of them is able to interrupt the
normal
flow causing severe damages that even can take to the death.
The
problems
of the
cardiac
valves are divided according to the affected one in mitral, aortic, tricuspidea and
pulmonary
Estenosis, and regurgitation.
The damage can be made when
a
valve cannot be opened completely so that the heart receives the amount of blood that needs, which is called estenosis or when the valve is not closed correctly, causing
problems
as much in the entrance as in the exit of the vital
liquid
, which is known like insufficiency or regurgitation.
This
problem
generally must to some
congenital
problem
cardiac
or by some
diseases
like the coronariopatía, the
attacks
to the heart or infarcts and some
infections
, like the
rheumatic
fever and the
endocarditis
.
In many greater people, the
calcium
deposits can
obstruct
the aortic valve and in many women,
a
prolapse of the mitral valve appears of special form, that is to say, when one or more of peaks of the valves does not close perfectly.
The consequences of
a
mitral valve
cardiac
patient vary. The estenosis and the regurgitation of the mitral valve can cause congestiva
cardiac
insufficiency. An aortic valve patient can cause hipertrofia and weakness of the left ventricle.
This
problem
can affect all the people, and can exist during many years, without symptoms or annoyances appear,
but
when they appear, generally are:
Difficulties when breathing, with lack of breath.
Fatigue.
Angina
of chest that is intense pain in half of the chest.
Mareos.
