Which is more complex tricuspid or mitral valve?
The mitral valve is more complex than the tricuspid valve. The mitral valve has two leaflets, while the tricuspid valve has three leaflets. Additionally, the mitral valve is located on the left side of the heart and is subjected to higher pressures and forces compared to the tricuspid valve on the right side.
Would having a mechanical mitral valve be considered a heart condition?
Having a mechanical mitral valve is considered a condition affecting the heart, but it is not a primary heart condition. Rather, it is a treatment for a different underlying heart condition, such as mitral valve disease or regurgitation. The mechanical valve is a prosthetic device used to replace a malfunctioning or damaged natural mitral valve.
What is caused by blood flow back through a stenotic valve?
Blood flow back through a stenotic valve can lead to turbulent blood flow, increased pressure in the heart chambers, and ultimately conditions like heart failure, arrhythmias, and ventricular hypertrophy.
This valve is named after bishops'miter and prevents blood from entering the left atria during ventricular systole?
The valve you are referring to is the mitral valve, also known as the bicuspid valve. It prevents the backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium during ventricular contraction.
Incompetent mitral valve allows the retrograde flow of blood from the left ventricle into this structure?
Incompetent mitral valve allows the retrograde flow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium.
Which part of the cycle would you hear stenotic mitral valve sounds most clearly?
Systolic
Where do you hear mitral valve?
The Mitral Valve is in the heart, so a doctor will use a stethoscope to listen to your heart.
What is mitral valve replacement?
Cardiothoracic and cardiovascular surgeons perform mitral valve repair. Surgeons are trained during their residency to perform these procedures, although a certain level of skill is required for perfection of the technique.
What is the medical term meaning backflow of blood through the mitral valve?
Mitral regurgitation is backflow of blood through the mitral valve.
How do heart attacks affect the mitral valve?
Heart attacks that damage the structures that support the mitral valve are a common cause of mitral valve insufficiency. Myxomatous degeneration can cause a "floppy" mitral valve that leaks.
The mitral valve is closed when?
The mitral valve is closed when the left ventricle is contracting.
2 other names for the bicuspid valve?
left atrioventricular valve and left mitral valve
What is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve?
Mitral stenosis is the medical term meaning narrowing of the mitral valve.
Another name for the left AV valve?
The left atrioventricular valve is also known as the mitral valve.
What is the valve in the heart?
Mitral valve
Abnormal narrowing of the opening of the mitral valve is known as mitral?
Mitral stenosis
Who gets mitral valve stenosis?
Twice as many women as men are affected by mitral valve stenosis. About 60% of patients with mitral valve stenosis have had rheumatic fever.
