What are five function that the heart does?

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 is the function of bicuspic valves?
The bicuspid valve allows blood to pass from the heart to the aorta but then keeps it from flowing back into the heart.

What is the function of biscupid valve?
The bicuspid valve, also known as the mitral valve, is located between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. Its function is to prevent the backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium during the contraction of the heart. This ensures proper blood flow through the heart and out to the rest of the body.
What are the key differences between aortic valve sclerosis and stenosis, and how do they impact the functioning of the heart?
Aortic valve sclerosis is the thickening and hardening of the aortic valve, while aortic valve stenosis is the narrowing of the valve opening. Sclerosis may not significantly affect heart function, but stenosis can restrict blood flow from the heart, leading to symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart failure.
What is the major function of the coronary circulation?
to supply blood to the heart muscles.
What is the medical term meaning Inflammation of the valve on the left side of the heart?
The medical term for inflammation of the valve on the left side of the heart is "mitral valve endocarditis." This condition can lead to damage of the valve and affect the heart's ability to function properly. Treatment often involves antibiotics and, in severe cases, surgery to repair or replace the valve.
What is the purpose of balloon valvuloplasty?
The goal of the procedure is to improve valve function and blood flow by enlarging the valve opening. It is sometimes used to avoid or delay open heart surgery and valve replacement.
