What event results in the pressure deflection called the dicrotic notch?
When the aortic semilunar valve snaps shut, a momentary increase in the aortic pressure results from the elastic recoil of the aorta after valve closure.
Trace the blood from the mitral to the tricuspid valve by the way of the great toe?
Note: Mitral valve = bicuspid valve = aortic valve. And tricuspid valve = right atrioventricular valve. Blood flows through the aortic valve --> aorta --> arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries in the great toe --> venules --> veins --> superior and inferior venacavae --> right atrium --> tricuspid valve. This above is incorrect. The Mitral valve is the bicuspid valve but it is NOT the aortic valve. So blood flows from the Mitral valve to the left ventricle to the aortic valve to the aorta. The rest appears correct.
What valve opens during systole?
aortic and pulmonic
What are the symptoms of an aortic valve prolapse?
Sudden death.
Aortic semi-lunar vlave has how many pocketlike flaps of tissue?
Both types of semilunar valve, aortic and pulmonary, have three cusps. These flaps make sure that blood only flows in one direction.
What is the normal valve area for the aortic valve?
3 - 4cm3, it becomes reduced in aortic stenosis and is usually symptomatic at less than 1cm3
When is aortic valve replacement necessary?
Aortic valve replacement is necessary when the aortic valve has become diseased. The aortic valve can suffer from insufficiency (inability to perform adequately) or stenosis.
What valve is at the entrance to the aorta?
The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic semilunar valve into the Aorta.
What heart valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta?
the aortic valveThe Aortic valveThe aortic semilunar valve lies between the left ventricle and the aorta.
What comes after the aortic semilunar valve?
The blood flows through the aorta after exiting the left ventricle through the aortic valve.
What is aortic valve stenosis?
A stenosed valve is a valve that has been narrowed for some reason; either by injury, scar tissue or congenital anomaly. Depending on the level of stenosis, cardiac output can be fixed (unable to be changed) and reduced.
Why replace the aortic valve with pig valve?
because the aortic valve is not functioning properly, i.e. prolapse
Where can I find information on aortic valve replacements?
You may find information on aortic valve replacements at www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jLfPlQBYuw, www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=aortic-valve-replacement, www.nhs.uk/conditions/Aortic valve replacement/
What are the health conditions for aortic valve replacement?
If she is concerned about this she should speak to a physician. Aortic valve replacement may be necessary if her aortic valve has narrowed or is leaking.
Where is the aortic valve?
The aortic semilunar valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta.
What happens when the aortic valve is 5.7cm?
Aortic stenosis
Aortic valve function?
The Aortic Valve controls the flow of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta.
