Explain how a faulty heart valve would affect heart performance?

The many and various diseases of the heart valves generally lead to either or both stenosis and/or regurgitation. Stenosis is where an obstruction is caused, it can be by a number of things but when the valves are at fault is is usually because they either go stiff and block blood flow or they seel up again blocking blood flow. Regurgitation is when there is s defect in the valve that allows blood to flow back into the previous chamber. This can be in the form of eother a hole in one of the leaflets of the valve or an area where they do not meat correctly. In either situation the blood flow in the correct direction is limited and so the heart must work harder to compensate.


How does the heart work brief answer?

The heart pumps blood around the body to ensure your body has enough blood in your body otherwise you can die instantly. The heart is an automated, muscular machine that uses muscles to pump blood. The heart has 4 chambers and valves. The top chambers pull blood into the heart, and the lower chambers push it out. The valves keep the blood moving in only one direction so the heart can work. If the blood tries to go both ways, pumping doesn't occur. The natural pacemaker that is a branch of the vagus nerve is what slows down the heart and regulates the speed. One side of the heart pulls oxygenated blood from the lungs and send it to the body starting with the aorta (the largest artery). The other side of the heart pulls the stale blood from the vena cava (the largest vein) and sends it to the lungs.

How do the valves work?

You'll need to be more specific, since valves are used in many different applications. What type valves are you posting your inquiry? Since the topic is under "new electrical work", one might assume that you are asking about electrically operated valves or valves with position sensors, or you may be asking about the old "vacuum tubes", which in much of the world are referred to as "valves". Answering all of those questions would end up being a dissertation, and probably more than would be appropriate for Answers.com The valves of the heart prevent the blood that is pumped out from flowing back to the heart or backward in veins.


Why are valvers necessary in the cardiovascular system?

Valves ensure the flow of blood in a single direction. Unidirectional blood flow is very important for the circulatory system to function properly. When one of the valves do not work properly, blood does not flow properly in one direction and there is going to be some backward current. This is called shunting and can have drastic consequences if not treated immediately.
