cardiopulmonary bypass is terminated, anticoagulation is reversed, and the cannulae are removed from the vessels. The sternotomy is closed. Permanent stainless steel wires are used to hold the sternum bone together. The skin incision is closed
The valve
The valve between the heart and the aorta is the aortic valve, and the valve between the heart and the pulmonary artery is the pulmonic valve.
murmurmurmurA murmur is a heart sound caused by turbulent blood flow resulting from an abnormal heart valve that either does not close appropriately or does not open normally.
There are four valves in the heart--the aortic valve, pulmonary valve, mitral valve, and tricuspid valve--each at the exit of one of the heart's four chambers.
heart
This infection causes swelling and muscle damage to the heart. It can also damage the heart valves in a way that keeps the blood from moving through the heart normally. The infection can cause heart valve leaflets to stick together, which narrows the valve opening. Also, the infection can scar the valves.
Abnormal heart sound caused by improper closure of heart valve is called a murmur. A murmur is caused by turbulent blood flow, when a heart valve either fails to open normally or fails to fully close.
Mitral Valve
The valve
The valve between the heart and the aorta is the aortic valve, and the valve between the heart and the pulmonary artery is the pulmonic valve.
Symptoms of a heart valve not working properly may include chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and dizziness. Treatment options can include medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery to repair or replace the faulty valve. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Mitral valve
a 1 way valve in the heart that prevents blood from going backwards when the heart contracts
Left Ventricle swelling is a symptom of your heart working too hard. I have a leaky valve that is causing my ventricle to swell. With a valve replacement it will go down.
