What is the pattern of blood flow away from the heart?

Is a sticky heart valve hereditary?
A sticky heart valve is another term for mitral valve prolapse. Mitral valve prolapse is when one of the mitral valves swings up towards the atrium when it opens causing blood to leak back into the atrium.
What is the function of the aortic valve?
The aortic valve functions as a one-way valve between the heart and the rest of the body. Blood is pumped from the left ventricle of the heart, through the valve, and down the aorta, which in turn supplies blood to all of the organs in the body. Between heart contractions, the valve closes, preventing blood from flowing backwards into the heart. The function of the aortic valve is then twofold: (1) It provides a route for which blood can leave the heart, and (2) It prevents blood that has already left the heart from leaking backwards into the heart.
