Function of aortic valve?
The aortic valve helps with the process of pumping blood from the left ventricle to the aorta. It prevents the blood from going back to the left ventricle from the aorta.
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 is the function of the aortic semilunar?
The two semiluar valves are at the exits from the ventricles the pulmonary valve between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery and the aortic valve between the left ventricle and the aorta. This means that their function is to assist the heart valves to control blood flow.
What comes after the aortic semilunar valve?
The blood flows through the aorta after exiting the left ventricle through the aortic valve.
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?

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 is the function of the aortic valve?
The aortic valve functions as a one-way valve between the heart and the rest of the body. Blood is pumped from the left ventricle of the heart, through the valve, and down the aorta, which in turn supplies blood to all of the organs in the body. Between heart contractions, the valve closes, preventing blood from flowing backwards into the heart. The function of the aortic valve is then twofold: (1) It provides a route for which blood can leave the heart, and (2) It prevents blood that has already left the heart from leaking backwards into the heart.
What happens when the aortic valve is 5.7cm?
Aortic stenosis
