Pathology of the Heart

🔅Heart valve disease: 👉It can occur due to many causes and conditions, such as infections and other heart conditions. 🔸Heart valve problems may include: 1)Regurgitation: 👉In this condition, the valve flaps don't close properly, causing blood to leak backward in your heart. This commonly occurs due to valve flaps bulging back, a condition called prolapse. 2)Stenosis: 👉The valve flaps become thick or stiff, and they may fuse together. This results in a narrowed valve opening and reduced blood flow through the valve. 3)Atresia: 👉The valve isn't formed, and a solid sheet of tissue blocks the blood flow between the heart chambers ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
