This document discusses different types of valvular heart disease. It begins by explaining that valvular heart disease is characterized by damage or defects to the heart's valves, which normally ensure proper blood flow. Stenotic valves become narrowed and prevent full opening, while incompetent valves do not close completely and allow blood to leak back. Over time, the heart compensates by enlarging and thickening, losing efficiency.
The document then examines specific valve diseases in more detail, outlining their causes, effects on heart function, symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment options. Diseases covered include mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation
Cardiomyopathy is a group of disease that affect the heart muscle. Early on there may be few or no symptoms. As the disease worsens, shortness of breath, feeling tired, and swelling of legs may occur, due to the onset of heart failure. An irregular heart beat and fainting may occur.
Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscles that makes it harder for your heart to pump blood to the rest of your body. Cardiomyopathy can lead to heart failure.

4. Valvular heart disease is characterized by damage to or a
defect in one of the four heart valves: the mitral, aortic,
tricuspid or pulmonary.
Normally functioning valves ensure that blood flows with
proper force in the proper direction at the proper time. In
valvular heart disease, the valves become too narrow and
hardened (stenotic) to open fully, or are unable to close
completely (incompetent).
A stenotic valve forces blood to back up in the adjacent
heart chamber, while an incompetent valve allows blood to
leak back into the chamber it previously exited.
To compensate for poor pumping action, the heart muscle
enlarges and thickens, thereby losing elasticity and
efficiency. In addition, in some cases, blood pooling in the
chambers of the heart has a greater tendency to clot,
increasing the risk of stroke or pulmonary embolism.
5. the valve opening narrows
the valve leaflets may become fused or thickened that the
valve cannot open freely obstructs the normal flow of blood
EFFECTS: the chamber behind the stenotic valve is subject to
greater stress must generate more pressure or work
hard to force blood through the narrowed opening
initially, the compensates for the additional workload by
gradual hypertrophy and dilation of the myocardium heart failure
6. scarring and retraction of valve leaflets or weakening of
supporting structures incomplete closure of the valve
result to leakage or backflow of blood from the previous
chamber
EFFECTS: causes the to pump the same blood twice (as the
blood comes back into the chamber)
the dilates to accommodate more blood (the usual blood
it needs to pump + regurgitated blood)
7. Congenital heart disease
Rheumatic heart disease
Heart attack – damage to the heart muscle, papillary muscles
High blood pressure and atherosclerosis may damage the aortic
valve.
Weakening of supporting structures of the heart
Weakening of the heart muscle
Infections – bacterial endocarditis
Methysergide, a medication used to treat migraine headaches,
and some diet drugs may promote valvular heart disease.
Radiation therapy (used to treat cancer) may be associated
8. most common valvular disorder
in rheumatic fever
may also be caused by bacterial
infection, thrombus formation,
Rarely, other factors can cause
mitral stenosis in adults. These
include:
Calcium deposits forming around
the mitral valve

inflations
- common used for mitral and aortic stenosis
Closed surgical valvuloplasty – done in the under GA
- midsternal incision, a small hole is cut into the
heart,
the surgeons finger or a dilator is used to open the
commissure
Open Commissurotomy – done w/ direct visualization of
the valve, thrombus and calcifications may be identified
and removed
41. 2. Annuloplasty is repair of valve annulus (junction of the valve leaflets
and the muscular heart wall)
- narrows the diameter of the valve’s orifice, useful for
valvular regurgitation
3. Chordoplasty is repair of chordae tendineae
- done for mitral valve regurgitation – caused by stretched,
torn or shortened chordae tendineae
42.

44. Mechanical valves – Ex. Caged ball valve, Tilting-disk valve
- more durable, used for younger pts.
- risk of thromboembolism – long-term use of anti-coagulants
Tissue or biological valves:
- xenografts – porcine or bovine heterografts (7-10 yrs
viability)
- homografts – from cadaver tissue donations (10-15 yrs)
