Adult Heart Valve Root Problems: A Review

Priyanka Sharma

When you have heart valve disease, one or more of your heart's valves don't work right. The four valves in your heart ensure that blood flows in the right direction. One or more of the valves may not properly open or close in some instances. The blood flow from your heart to your body may become irregular as a result of this. The type and severity of your heart valve disease are determined by the affected center valve and its treatment. Typically, heart valve disease necessitates center valve replacement or repair. The mitral, tricuspid, respiratory organ and aortal valves are the four valves in the heart that direct blood flow. The flaps (leaflets) that make up each valve open and close once per heartbeat. The blood flow from your heart to your body is non-contiguous if one or more of the valves fail to open or close properly. Congenital heart valve disease can also occur at birth. It can also happen to adults for a variety of reasons, including infections and various heart conditions.
