This is called valvular endocarditis.
Bacteria endocarditis
Mitral regurgitation is backflow of blood through the mitral valve.
The mitral, or bicuspid valve
An incompetent valve allows backflow of blood.
Hardening of the heart valve
I would assume you mean the tricuspid valve in the heart? Most other blood vessel valves are described as "semi-lunar", meaning they look like a half-moon, have two parts and when they close they completely block the vessel they're in. The tricuspid valve in the heart is composed of three pieces, so they would not be shaped like a half-moon.
Pericardial means pertaining to the pericardium, the sac around the heart.
peri-around card-heart itis-inflammation pericarditis. endo-inside, endocarditis, inflammation inside the heart myo-muscle, myocarditis, inflammation of heart musclePericarditis
Endocarditis (endo = within + card = heart + itis - inflammation) is a reaction to trauma of the inner membrane of the heart and the heart valves. This trauma is usually due to a viral or bacterial infection or the result of toxins produced by viral or bacterial action in another part of the body. If only a heart valve is inflammed then the word would be "Valvulitis" preceded by the valve name (tricuspid valvulitis).
MVP is the medical abbreviation meaning mitral valve prolapse
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
The medical term for an abnormally large heart is "cardiomegaly." This condition can be caused by various factors, including high blood pressure, heart valve disease, or cardiomyopathy. Treatment depends on the underlying cause.
Thoracotomy means surgical incision of the chest or thorax. A incision into the chest is done with two different methods. A incision into the front of the chest is known as a Median Sternotomy. This is usually the incision used for cardiac bypass, valve replacement, etc. A incision into the side of the chest is known as a Thoracotomy.
Valvuloplasty
valvul/o
It is the door/opening between the ventricles and atriums.
