Mitral valve insufficiency is a term used when the valve between the upper left chamber of the heart (atrium) and the lower left chamber (ventricle) does not close well enough to prevent back flow of blood when the ventricle contracts.

Are the tricuspid valves of the heart also called semilunar valves?
The tricuspid valves are different from the semilunar valves. The tricuspid valve is the right atrioventricular valve.
What is the name of the valve that opens to allow blood to travel from the atrium to the right ventricle?
tricuspid/ right atrioventricular valve.
Why human heart does not has bicuspid valve instead of tricuspid valve?
The human heart has both Tricuspid and a Bicuspid Valve. The Bicuspid Valve is more commonly know as the Aortic Valve. All that bicuspid means is that there are only 2 leaflets in the valve instead of the normal three leaflets that would be found in the tricuspid valve or the mitral valve.
What are the names for the two different sets of heart valves?
Atrioventricular valves Bicuspid Valve Tricuspid valve Pulmonary valve Aortic valve these are all the valves which are part of the heart.
Tricuspid valve other name?
Its called the atrioventricular valve or just AV valve
What is the icd-9 code for mitral valve insufficiency with tricuspid insufficiency?
396.3
How serious a condition is Tricuspid valve insufficiency?
Tricuspid valve insufficiency is not usually considered to be serious. If it is the result of other cardiopulmonary disease, the extent of those conditions effect the prognosis.
What is the name of the valve that opens to allow blood to travel from the right atrium to the right ventrcle?
The tricuspid valve at the bottom of the right atrium prevents the backward flow of blood.
What is blood flow from tricuspid valve from feet?
The Tricuspid valve is in the heart, not the feet
The right atrioventricular valve is known as the?
Another name for the right atrioventricular valve is the tricuspid valve. (3 -tri- on the right; 2 on the left/mitral valve)
Which is more complex tricuspid or mitral valve?
Tricuspid valve is more complex as compared to bicuspid valve .
Compare the structure of the tricuspid valve with that of the pulmonary valve?
the tricuspid valve is alot larger than the pulomonary valve beyaaaaaaaaah
Tricuspid valve were is it located?
The tricuspid valve is located between the right atria and ventricle.
What is the treatment for Tricuspid valve insufficiency?
usually does not require treatment, since a tiny leakage occurs in most normal people. In certain cases, however, if there is underlying pulmonary valve disease or lung disease, those conditions should be treated.
What happens when the ventricular walls contracts?
The bicuspid valve opens and the tricuspid valve closes.
The mitral valve has chordae but the tricuspid valve does not?
no
Are the tricuspid valves of the heart also called semilunar valves?
The tricuspid valves are different from the semilunar valves. The tricuspid valve is the right atrioventricular valve.
