  • The valve itself is slightly inclined to the vertical so that the margins of the valve are anterosuperior, inferior, and septal, and the cusps take their name from these attachment sites. (medscape.com)
  • Normally, these valves open to let blood flow through or out of your heart, and then shut to keep it from flowing backward. (wikidoc.org)
  • When a leaky mitral valve allows too much blood to flow backward, your heart must work harder to pump blood. (barnesjewish.org)
  • Heart valves are flap-like structures that prevent blood from flowing backward in the heart. (medicalnewstoday.com)
  • The valves are flaps that open and close to allow blood to flow into the heart but keep any blood from flowing backward. (healthline.com)
  • By implanting this ring, the valve will be able to close more effectively, and the risk of blood flowing backward decreases. (healthline.com)
  • When the valve is faulty, backward flow can occur. (hemopet.org)
  • Abnormalities of collagen and elastic fibers have been documented in floppy mitral valves (FMV). (medscape.com)
  • One of the valves, the mitral valve, sometimes has "floppy" flaps and doesn't close tightly. (wikidoc.org)
  • Mechanical valves made entirely from prosthetic materials. (bartleby.com)
  • A deep understanding of the peculiar anatomy of the TV and of the right heart chambers, with differences and similarities between the two AV valves is fundamental to overcome the specific challenges related to transcatheter TV therapies. (uzh.ch)
