Mitral valve

is made because the blood passing through the heart’s valves and chambers make a sound. Sometimes, the valve doesn’t open entirely, and the blood goes back to the chamber it just left. When that happens, it makes a swishing noise, making it easy to find. Generally, heart murmurs are not exactly dangerous, unless it is abnormal. Abnormal heart murmur is caused, in children, by congenital heart disease. Adults may get it as well by heart valve problems. People do not naturally…

septum, and four main valves with which the blood makes its directional flow into and out of the heart. Deoxygentated blood with which the blood flows into and out of the organ. Deoxygenated blood enters through the venae cava fills the right atrium (RA) and right ventricle (RV) through the tricuspid valve. Then, RV contracts pushing the blood to pulmonary circuit and returns oxygenated from the lungs and travels to left atrium (LA) and left atrium (LA) through the mitral valve. Left ventricle…

the right atrium contracts and pumps its contents into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve. Once the right atrium is drained completely, the tricuspid valve will close to prevent blood from flowing back into the right atrium. Next, the right ventricle contracts, causing the pulmonary valve to open and forcing blood into the pulmonary artery. Once the blood is emptied, the pulmonary valve will close to prevent backflow. The deoxygenated blood will travel to the lungs through the…

from mixing there is a structure called an interventricular septum. The septum separates the cardiac chambers; right and left atria and the right and left ventricles. There are four valves, which regulate backflow to the chambers. There are two types of valves, which are the atrioventricular valves and the semilunar valves. The atrioventricular…

goes through the tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle. The tricuspid valve then closes when the ventricles is full then the right ventricle contracts, sending the blood to the pulmonary artery. From the pulmonary artery the blood goes to the lung and get oxygenated. The oxygenated blood, then flows into the left atrium through the pulmonary vein. Then the mitral valve opens up and the blood goes into the left ventricle. When the left ventricle is full the mitral valve closes and the…

contains four chambers the left atria, right atria, left ventricle and right ventricle which pump the blood throughout the body. (Martini, Tallitsch and Timmons, 550). Furthermore, within the heart, are four valves called the tricuspid valve, the pulmonary valve, the mitral valve and the aortic valve which is responsible for the flow of the blood (Texas). Through elaborating on these structures, it will further highlight the role of each to the whole function of the Cardiovascular…

TASK 1 HEART The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body (Chiras, 2008). STRUCTURE The heart wall is composed of three layers of tissues: pericardium, myocardium and endocardium (Wilson, Waugh and Ross, 1996). Label structures of the heart for the diagram. Aorta is the major artery that carries oxygenated blood to the body. Pulmonary veins carry oxygenated blood from the lungs into the heart. Left atrium is one of the left upper chambers that takes oxygenated blood from…

fever and flu-like symptoms. He was a heavy smoker,, and had a known history of bicuspid aortic valve disease. On his arrival to the hospital, his temperature was 38.5 degrees celsius, heart rate was 98 bpm, and his blood pressure fell in the normal range at 100/80 mmHg. The man’s breathing sounded normal and a systolic murmur was found. Transesophageal echocardiography showed the man’s bicuspid valve with small vegetation that was attached to the ventricular leaflet. There was also a grade…

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the second most common form of heart muscle disease and is the number one cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes. It affects approximately one in 500 adults in the United States. HCM is a genetically determined heart muscle disease caused by more than 1400 mutations in 11 or more genes encoding proteins of the cardiac sarcomere (Maron & Maron, 2013). HCM is characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) of various morphologies with a wide…

Well Today officially marks my 1 year surgversary (aka the day I had my surgery). In honor of this special day Here's a story of how everything happened. I was diagnosed at around the age of 6? With mitral valve prolapse (aka my valves weren't closing properly). I was also born with pectus excavatum (aka my rib cage sunk in). I continued living with these issues for the next 22 years. I went from doctor to doctor ,appointment to appointment. Did test after test. I was removed from PE every…
