Heart sounds

Descending aorta1

• This valve did not replace the patient's diseased aortic valve but instead it was inserted in the descending aorta in an open-chest procedure. (openwetware.org)

Severe2

• Severe stenosis hampers the movement of blood, food, and air, and consequently the musculature of the organ located above the stenosis hypertrophies (compensated stenosis). (thefreedictionary.com)
• This depends upon what the cause of the murmur is from the list above, whether the defect causing the murmur is classified as: mild, moderate or severe, and whether it is resulting in heart enlargement or not. (uk.net)

Atrioventricular1

• Examples of the former include stenosis of the left atrioventricular orifice of the heart, or mitral stenosis. (thefreedictionary.com)

Abnormal3

• However, this examination must be performed on any child who has a heart murmur or historical features that indicate the presence of heart disease or abnormal cardiac function. (aafp.org)
• This backward squirt of flow through an incompetent valve results in an abnormal heart sound called a heart murmur. (uk.net)
• Aortic Stenosis or Pulmonic Stenosis) then blood flow pumped out through the narrowed valve is pinched, resulting in an abnormal squirt of flow, ie. (uk.net)

Disease5

• Stenosis is treated surgically by enlarging the affected orifice, as in some cases of heart disease, by passing a bougie through the structure involved, by excising the constricted part, or by performing plastic surgery. (thefreedictionary.com)
• Many normal children have heart murmurs, but most children do not have heart disease. (aafp.org)
• An appropriate history and a properly conducted physical examination can identify children at increased risk for significant heart disease. (aafp.org)
• 1 Most of these young patients do not have heart disease. (aafp.org)

Murmur5

• Hearing your vet announce that " your pet has a heart murmur " can be very daunting. (uk.net)
• So, first of all, what is a heart murmur? (uk.net)
• Simply put, a murmur is a sound produced by a squirt of blood inside the heart when it pumps. (uk.net)
• A murmur can also occur through a hole in the heart - the murmur is caused by the squirt of blood going through the hole. (uk.net)
• As the puppy and its heart grow and mature, then the murmur gradually disappears. (uk.net)

Left atrium1

• Blood flow from the left atrium (LA) is upwards through the mitral valve (MV) and into the left ventricle (LV). (uk.net)

Ventricle1

• When the left ventricle (LV) pumps, the mitral valve should prevent any backflow. (uk.net)

Pulmonic valves1

• On the right side of the heart, the tricuspid and pulmonic valves regulate the flow of blood that is returned from the body to the lungs for oxygenation, whereas on the left side, the mitral and aortic valves control the flow of oxygenated blood to the body" . (openwetware.org)

Endocarditis1

• Problems common to all heart valve replacement devices include small but persistent risks of endocarditis and paravalvular leak. (openwetware.org)

Patients2

• If valve replacement is successful and uncomplicated, most patients experience an improvement in their symptomatic state, and therefore in their quality of life. (openwetware.org)
• Heart Murmurs in Pediatric Patients: When Do You Refer? (aafp.org)

Backward1

• If a valve becomes faulty and no longer prevents backflow, then there is a resultant backward squirt of blood through the gaps in the valve with each heartbeat. (uk.net)

Tissue1

• Some main focuses of current and future research include: engineering living tissue heart valves and further study related to the fluid mechanics of the heart to enhance the direction of future mechanical heart valves. (openwetware.org)
