  • Valvular heart disease  By :
    Valvular involvement by disease causes stenosis, insufficiency (regurgitation), or both. Stenosis is the failure of a volve to open completely, thereby impeding forward flow Insufficiency, regurgitation, or incompetence, in contrast results from failure of a valve to close completely, thereby allowing reversed flow. These abnormalities can be either pure, when only stenosis or regurgitation is present or mixed when both stenosis and regurgitation coexist in the same valve, but one of these defects usually predominates. Dysfunction may affect a single valve (isolated disease) or multiple valves (combined disease). Functional regurgation results when a valve becomes incompetent owing to ventricular dilation, which causes the right or left ventricular papillary muscles to be pulled down and outward thereby preventing coaptation of otherwise intact leaflets during systole. Abnormalities of flow often produce abnormal heart sounds known as murmurs.
