What would happen if a valve in the heart stopped working properly?

One result could be heart failure, which despite the sound of it is not an acute sudden and complete termination of heart function. If the 'left heart' fails, the part of the heart that specializes in moving blood from the lungs to the body, then there is usually a build-up over time of fluid in the lungs. If the 'right heart' fails, the part of the heart that moves blood from the body to the lungs for oxygenation, then there may be edema (swelling) in the body's extremities.

∙ 7y agowhen your heart stops working it will not be able to make anymore blood, so you die.
The heart pumps blood around the body and if your heart stops then the blood stops circulating. Cells in the body will not be supplied with nutrients and oxygen. In a short time you will collapse and die.

"...not be able to make anymore blood..." The heart does not make blood.

∙ 15y agoIt all depends on which valve and the severity of the dysfunction. Many people live perfectly healthy lives and have mitral valve prolapse (heart murmur). Other people can have such severe damage to their valves that it would be a life threatening situation and may require mechanical valve transplants.
