Stages Of Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Valve

The flow of blood through the heart is controlled by four valves. If any are not working correctly, blood cannot flow or be pumped effectively to the heart. The four valves are: the tricuspid, pulmonary semilunar, mitral, and aortic semilunar. There are many abnormalities or defects that can affect their operation and in this paper, I will discuss the most common one which is a “mitral valve prolapse.” A valvular prolapse is an abnormal protrusion of a heart valve that causes the valve to not close completely. It is also known as “click murmur syndrome” and “Barlow’s syndrome” and is more prevalent in women than men. It has a strong hereditary

Congenital heart disease is a cardiovascular condition resulting from an abnormality in the structure of the heart. The exact time this defect forms is unknown but it is during the fetal development in the womb. Researchers think the defect could be case partially by genetics and medical conditions of the fetus and the parents. If the baby’s mother had rubella, while pregnant or other conditions such as diabetes could have caused the defect. Some medications that were taken by a pregnant mother could also have caused birth defects. An error on chromosome 22 could also have caused the heart defect. Some symptoms that a person may have a congenital heart may not show up until later in life but many children also have the symptoms. Symptoms of a congenital heart defect are abnormal heartbeat, bluish tint to skin, shortness of breath, dizziness or fainting, and swelling of body tissues and organs.

Others may experience tightening of chest, lack of energy, as well as weight loss. Many sufferers also report blueness of lips and fingernail beds, swelling in ankles and feet, and frequent respiratory infections.

HLHS is when the left side of the heart is severely underdeveloped. In hypoplastic left heart syndrome, the left side of the heart can 't properly supply blood to the body because the lower left chamber (left ventricle) is too small or in some cases it may not even exist. In addition, the valves on the left side of the heart (aortic valve and mitral valve) don 't work properly, and the main artery leaving the heart (aorta) is smaller than normal. The foramen ovale is a natural opening between the upper chambers of the heart (atria) or through a blood vessel that connects the pulmonary artery directly to the aorta (ductus arteriosus) and for the first several days of life, the right side of the heart can pump blood to both the lungs and the rest of the body through this. Often babies with HLHS undergo a three-staged set of complex surgeries in which the outcome is usually leaving the child with half a heart. In doing this, it increases the child’s chances of survival. The foramen ovale usually closes after the first day or two of life then the right side of the heart has no way to pump blood out to the body.

* D: Decreased cardiac output related to inflammation of lining of the heart and valves.

The symptoms get worse and just don't go away. If you have a full-blown exacerbation, you may need to go to the hospital.

Heredity plays a role in atrial septal defect because of gene abnormalities and environmental exposure that heighten the chance of a child inheriting it. Although most ASD occur by chance with no clear cause, scientists are still searching for a reason to why it occurs. Some symptoms of atrial septal defect after birth include recurrent respiratory or lung infections, trouble in breathing, feeling drained when feeding (infants), being out of breath when doing physically intensive activities, missed heartbeats, heart murmurs, swelling of limbs such as feet, legs, or stomach areas, or getting a stroke. Detection can be done during of after the baby is born. During pregnancy, it may be seen during an ultrasound but it usually depends on the size of the hole and its location. In many cases, ASD is not detected until adulthood, in which detection can be done through x-rays or physical examination which is done with a stethoscope to check for heart murmurs. Treatment may not be necessary in most cases of ASD as the hole in the septum closes during childhood but more severe cases will require treatment. Medications can be used to reduce the signs of symptoms and infections as well as aiding the heart to

Most of the heart leaked ASD close themselves during childhood. And if it does not close, a few small ASD does not cause a problem and may not require any treatment. But in the end the persistent need ASD surgery is to be corrected.

Personally I’ve had them all. I get my gene for my disease from my mother’s side. It isn’t a 100% accurate but my mother’s relatives are the only side that has heart issues, such as a reverse heart at berth that needed extensive heart surgery to flip it around. Every person that has aortic valve stenosis can't take medicine to cure the disease. They must have surgery, depending on how bad the back flow of blood is. In conclusion, this is my report on aortic valve

The physician will complete a thorough exam. He/she will listen to the heart and lungs looking for signs of heart failure. Gallops, rapid heartbeats, and murmurs of the heart valves may be heard. The physician will palpate the abdomen to feel if the liver is enlarged. He/she will also check the skin and nail beds on fingers and

Some people who have atherosclerosis have no signs or symptoms. They may not be diagnosed until after a heart attack or stroke.

After atrioventricular valves closure, the pressure in the ventricles continues grows rapidly. Diastolic pressure in aorta is several times higher than in left atrium. The pressure in pulmonary artery is also higher than in right atrium. That is why between the closure of atrioventricular valves and opening of semilunar (aorta and pulmonary artery) some time passes, a moment, when pressure in the ventricles rapidly grows, but without expulsion and ventricles capacity does not change. Duration of this phase is comparable to the T1 duration. Semilunar valves open at the end of this phase. In some situations, the opening of pathologically changed valves of aorta and pulmonary artery goes along with audible expulsion tone (TO).

still important to know the signs and symptoms in which people should make known. If not

Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) is a very large problem concerning the heart in its overall function. When the heart, being the core of the cardiovascular system, has issues; it effects the rest of the body as a result. The core of the problem resides in the atrial septum. Normally the heart is divided into four separate chambers. But a person with atrial septal defect has an atrial septum that allows the blood from the left side of the heart back into the right side. This results in increased pulmonary blood flow and diastolic overload of the right ventricle. By having this constant left-to-right shunt, it can alter the pulmonary vascular resistance leading to hypertension or even the reversal of the shunt itself.

Atrial Septal Defect is a common and interesting disorder. Atrial Septal Defect is mostly know as “a hole in the heart.” This disorder is birth defect. It can happen to male, female, adult, and kids. This disorder mostly happens to kids and infant. Atrial Septal Defect is when there is a hole in your heart that doesn’t allow oxygen to flow through. This can causes difficulty breathing, heart murmur, and e.t.c... There three different types of level. These level are called ostium secundum, ostium primum, and sinus venosus. The most severe level is ostium secundum which is the true atrial septal. Then is ostium primum, and last sinus venosus. This genetic disorder is typically diagnosed by noticing .symptoms.
