🫀 Heart Valve Disease: The Essential Gateway of Prohibited Blood Flow
🫀 Heart Valve Disease: The Essential Gateway of Prohibited Blood Flow
Our hearts have four heart valves.
It acts like a one-way door to keep the blood flowing forward, not backward.
The four heart valves are
• Tricuspid valve
• Pulmonary valve
• Mitral valve
• Aortic valve
If the heart valve is abnormal,
The entire body's circulatory system is immediately affected.
🔍 There are four main types of heart valve disease.
1️⃣ Stenosis
Narrow open tongue
The heart needs to squeeze harder.
To push blood through the narrow channels.
The result
• High heart pressure
• Thickened heart muscle
2️⃣ heart valve leak (Regurgitation)
The tongue is not completely closed.
The blood flows backwards.
Make
• Enlarged heart chamber
• The heart works harder.
3️⃣ Prolapse
The tongue plate rolled back into the upper room.
Often found at
Mitral valve prolapse
4️⃣ The heart valve has no opening (Atresia).
Found in congenital heart disease.
It's a severe condition in newborns.
📊 The cause of heart valve disease changed.
Former
The main reason is
Rheumatic heart disease
Caused by a streptococcus infection.
That causes immunity to destroy the heart valve.
Present day
The more common cause is
Heart valve degeneration with age
Especially.
🫀 Aortic stenosis.
Up to 5% are found in people over the age of 65.
🩺 The diagnosis is important.
Doctors will use several methods together.
✔️ Echocardiography
Check the heart valve structure.
✔️ Cardiac CT
Used to plan the treatment.
✔️ Cardiac MRI
Assess the severity of the heart valve leak.
✔️ BNP.
Tell me heart failure.
🧬 New Age Healing Innovation
There are currently treatments that do not require major surgery.
TAVR
Replacement the heart valve through the catheter.
Advantage
• Small incision
• Fast recovery
• Reduce complications
Fits elderly patients
🧠. Patient care is very important.
After treating the heart valve
Must be vigilant.
✔️ arrhythmia.
✔️ Heart failure.
✔️ Abnormal blood clotting.
And must
🦷 Oral health care
To reduce the risk of infecting the heart valve.
❤️ the most important thing.
New Age Heart Valve Disease Treatment
Not just one surgery.
But is
Lifelong Heart Care Planning
To prevent
• Heart failure
• Cerebral veins
• Early death
