Question 1

is the valve regurgitation that is caused by atrioventicular septal defect (mr or tr) seen in doppler echo?

Accepted Answer

Echo: Virtually all abnormal intracardiac flows are imaged by doppler echo.

Question 2

what are valves in the body and what do they do?

Accepted Answer

4: 4 cardiac valves. 2 atrioventricular and 2 ventriculoarterial. 2 on the right heart 2 on the left heart. Each ventricle has an atrioventricular and a ventriculoarterial valve.They are one way valves. Flow is venae cavae to right atrium, RA to right ventricle via right av valve or tricuspid, rv to pulmonaryartery via 
pulmonic valve-lungs-left atrium-mitral valve-left ventricle-aortic valve- aorta.

Question 3

how does the bicuspid valve function?

Accepted Answer

May be normal: The aortic valve is comprised of three leaflets, or cusps, that swing open and closed. Approximately 1% of the population is born with only 2 cups. These swing open and shut in a similar fashion. Depending on the precise architecture of the 2 cusps, there may be increased turbulence of blood flow through the valve, and over time more wear and tear leading to thickening/obstruction, or leaks.

Question 4

is sodas bad for mitro valve prolapse?

Accepted Answer

It should not: Be bad for patient with mitral valve prolapse.

Question 5

can valve problems and septal defects be undetectable?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Sometimes small septal defects and some valve abnormalities may go clinically undetected until an echocardiogram is obtained or MRI of the heart.

Question 6

what happens if someone's bicuspid valve does not close properly?

Accepted Answer

Aortic insufficiency: When an aortic valve (bicuspid or a normal tricuspid valve) does not close properly, insufficiency or regurgitation ("leaking") results. When mild, this does not have clinical effects, but when severe it can compromise cardiac function.

Question 7

what are the mitral and tricspid valves and what are they responsible for?

Accepted Answer

Atrioventricular: mitral and tricuspid are the atrioventricular valves which are between the atria and the ventricles. They're responsible for the valve function between those chambers, mitral on left and tricuspid right heart

Question 8

are there  any new  non evasive procedures  for repairing mitro valve prolapse?

Accepted Answer

Why?: Mvp is usually not an issue.  The valve does not usually need to be fixed.  Speak with a cardiologist to see if you even have a reason to be concerned.

Question 9

bicuspid arotic valve?

Accepted Answer

Your question?: You named a valve of the heart. The aortic valve is one of the four valves of the heart. It normally has three leaflets, although in 2% of the population it is found to congenitally have two leaflets.

Question 10

what is a mitral valve?

Accepted Answer

One of 4 heart valve: The mitral valve is one of the 4 heart valves found in the heart.  These valves keep blood moving one direction rather than back and forth as the heart contracts.  The mitral valve is so named as it looks like the pope's hat (a mitre). The mitral valve separates the left atrium and the left ventricle.
