What would happen if the valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle didn't work?

∙ 12y agoWell, the patient could develop high blood pressure and hypertension possibly resulting in heart attack or cardiac arrest. Or they could just feel very weak and physically drained from insufficient blood flow to vital organs...

∙ 9y agoIt depends on the degree to which it doesn't work. That valve's purpose in life is to allow the ventricle to build up enough pressure to send blood to the lungs. If it's just "somewhat" inefficient, not enough blood will flow into the lungs. You won't get enough oxygen and you'll be fatigued and weak. If it completely fails, no blood will flow into the lungs, your body will receive no O2, and you'll die.
If untreated, this condition can result in enlargement of the right side of the heart and ultimately heart failure and has been linked to strokes. The mechanism by which a PFO may play a role in stroke is called paradoxical embolism.
In the case of PFO, a blood clot from the venous circulatory system is able to pass from the right atria into the left atria via the PFO, and ultimately into systemic circulation.
If untreated, this condition can result in enlargement of the right side of the heart and ultimately heart failure and has been linked to strokes.

∙ 9y agoIf the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle can't open all the way, there is the possibility of decreased heart function, as the ventricle would not fill efficiently and cardiac output may be decreased.

Are there many or few vessels serving as conduits between the lungs and the heart?
There are many vessels serving as conduits between the lungs and the heart. This is because the heart and the lungs need enough oxygenated blood at all times.

What path does blood take around the body?
circulatory system pathway of blood around the heart # right Atrium # Valve # Right Ventricle # Valve # Pulmonary artery # lungs # pulmonary vein # Left Atrium # Valve # Left Ventricle # Aorta # Arteries # Capillaries # VeinsRight Atrium # Vena Cava # Right Atrium I didnt give the names to the valves from the BODY, blood travels to structures such as the brains, lungs, liver, kidneys, intestines, etc. before respectively returning to the heart. Beginning from the right atrium, blood flows through the right AV valve into the right ventricle. From the right ventricle, blood flows through the pulmonary SL valve into the first portion of the pulmonary artery, the pulmonary trunk. The pulmonary trunk branches to form the left and right pulmonary arteries, which conduct blood to the gas exchange tissues of the lung. From there, blood flows through pulmonary veins into the left atrium. From the left atrium, blood flows through the left AV (mitral) valve into the left ventricle. From the left ventricle, blood flows through the aortic SL valve into the aorta. Branches of the aorta supply all the tissues of the body except the gas-exchange tissues of the lungs. Blood leaving the head and neck tissues empties into the superior vena cava. Blood leaving the lower body empties into the inferior vena cava. Both large vessels conduct blood into the right atrium, where it starts all over again. A. P.
