Defective heart valves can significantly disrupt normal blood flow within the heart, leading to various cardiovascular issues. Conditions such as stenosis (narrowing of the valve) or regurgitation (leakage) can cause the heart to work harder, potentially leading to heart failure over time. Symptoms may include fatigue, shortness of breath, and swelling in the legs or abdomen. Additionally, these defects can increase the risk of developing arrhythmias and other complications.

Would gingivitis affect the heart valves?
Infections of the teeth and gums, CAN spread to the Heart through the Bloodstream. So, yes, it can effect the heart valves.
What stop the blood from falling back into the heart?
The valves of the heart. They're one way valves that won't allow blood to flow back into the heart, provided the heart and valves are normal. In some cases, the valves can be defective, and cause the exact 'backflow' you're asking about. These cases are rare.
What might be the significance of a nonfunctional or defective chordae tendinae?
Nonfunctional or defective chordae tendineae can lead to severe cardiac issues, primarily affecting the heart valves, especially the mitral and tricuspid valves. These structures help prevent backflow of blood by anchoring the heart valves to the ventricular walls. If they are damaged, it can result in valve prolapse, regurgitation, or heart failure due to improper blood flow and increased cardiac workload. Consequently, this condition may necessitate surgical intervention to repair or replace faulty valves.

How many valves does a frog's heart have?

How does the disease affect the heart's mitral valve with RHD?
This infection causes swelling and muscle damage to the heart. It can also damage the heart valves in a way that keeps the blood from moving through the heart normally. The infection can cause heart valve leaflets to stick together, which narrows the valve opening. Also, the infection can scar the valves.
Where else in the circulatory system are valves found?
Valves can be found in the heart. They sit between the Atria and the Ventricles and help aid cardiovascular activity.
Where is heart disease?
In the heart and valves
Where can valves be found other than the heart?
