What event results in the pressure deflection called the dicrotic notch?
When the aortic semilunar valve snaps shut, a momentary increase in the aortic pressure results from the elastic recoil of the aorta after valve closure.
Trace the blood from the mitral to the tricuspid valve by the way of the great toe?
Note: Mitral valve = bicuspid valve = aortic valve. And tricuspid valve = right atrioventricular valve. Blood flows through the aortic valve --> aorta --> arteries --> arterioles --> capillaries in the great toe --> venules --> veins --> superior and inferior venacavae --> right atrium --> tricuspid valve. This above is incorrect. The Mitral valve is the bicuspid valve but it is NOT the aortic valve. So blood flows from the Mitral valve to the left ventricle to the aortic valve to the aorta. The rest appears correct.
What is the Improper closure of valve between atrium and ventricle during systole?
mitral valve prolapse
When the bicuspid valve enters the left atrium during systole is called?
mitral valve prolapse
What is the normal aortic valve size for someone with a body surface area of 18m2?
A normal aortic valve (AV) opening is at least 2 cm.
Why replace the aortic valve with pig valve?
because the aortic valve is not functioning properly, i.e. prolapse
What are some of the common symptoms of aortic valve stenosis?
Common symptoms of aortic valve stenosis are chest pains, feeling faint, shortness of breath, and fatigue. More serious symptoms include having heart failure.
For what reasons may an aortic valve replacement surgery be needed?
Aortic valve replacement surgery will be required if the valve in the heart is either too narrow for all of the blood to pass through or if the valve is leaking. This valve is very important as it prevents blood from rushing back into the heart after it has been pumped out.
What are the symptoms of aortic valve stenosis?
The most common symptoms, depending on the severity of the disease, are chest pain, blackouts, and difficulty breathing.
When is aortic valve replacement necessary?
Aortic valve replacement is necessary when the aortic valve has become diseased. The aortic valve can suffer from insufficiency (inability to perform adequately) or stenosis.
What heart valve is located between the left ventricle and the aorta?
the aortic valveThe Aortic valveThe aortic semilunar valve lies between the left ventricle and the aorta.
What valve is at the entrance to the aorta?
The heart pumps blood from the left ventricle through the aortic semilunar valve into the Aorta.
How dangerous is mitral valve prolapse?
In rare cases, mitral valve prolapse can cause sudden death. Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) could kill you if it is serious. There are some symptoms but most people don't get them. There are a racing heart, chest pains, dizziness, fatigue, and shortness of breath. You can get a heart replacement but it is extremely expensive usually between $500 and $10000.
Is there a Cure for mitral valve prolapse?
Most people do not require treatment for mitral valve prolapse and remain asymptomatic. There is no cure for mitral valve prolapse but if a person develops symptoms medications are the common treatment and on rare occasions, surgery may be recommended.
What is the medical abbreviation meaning mitral valve prolapse?
MVP is the medical abbreviation meaning mitral valve prolapse
What comes after the aortic semilunar valve?
The blood flows through the aorta after exiting the left ventricle through the aortic valve.
Where can I find information on aortic valve replacements?
You may find information on aortic valve replacements at www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jLfPlQBYuw, www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=aortic-valve-replacement, www.nhs.uk/conditions/Aortic valve replacement/
