The aortic value is located at the entrance to the aorta from the left ventricular chamber of the heart. This is an important position since it is the threshold of all of the newly oxygenated blood returning to the body.
When the value is dysfunctional, it limits the ability of the heart to properly pump blood. This disruption causes irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath or fainting, myocardial infarction, and in some cases lead to sudden death.

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 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 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 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?
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
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.
Aortic valve function?
The Aortic Valve controls the flow of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta.
What valve controls the flow of blood from the ventricles to the bodys main artery?
lol i had the same worksheet. the answer is the aortic valve. i just put down aortic
