Mitral Valve Prolapse Human Anatomy and Physiology II Kristen Ammen The mitral valve is located on the left side of the heart between the left atrium and left ventricle. The purpose of the mitral valve is to form a seal between these two chambers of the heart to prevent the back flow of blood. When blood enters the left side of the heart‚ it is oxygenated and enters through the pulmonary veins. The blood then travels through the left atrium; the bicuspid (mitral) valve then opens to let the

Mitral Valve aka Bicuspid Valve Human Anatomy & Physiology II The left atrioventricular valve‚ with two cusps‚ is called the mitral valve because it resembles the two-sided bishops miter or hat. It is sometimes called the biscuspid valve. (Marieb & Hoehn‚ 2007). This valve separates the left atrium of the heart from the left ventricle of the heart. It prevents the back flow of oxygenated blood to the pulmonary circuit. Heart valves are simple devices‚ and the heart – like any

Heart valve replacements are more common than most people think. In the United States it is said that over 99‚000 heart valve surgeries are performed yearly. The majority of the valve replacement surgeries are to replace or repair the mitral or aortic valve‚ since the left side of the heart works harder than the right. There are several types of valve disease‚ the two most common are valvular stenosis and valvular insufficiency. Valvular stenosis occurs when the opening of the valve is smaller

murmur is a sound that your doctor hears with a stethoscope. Most heart murmurs are innocent: They are caused by blood flowing through healthy valves in a healthy heart‚ and do not require treatment. However‚ heart murmurs can be caused by blood flowing through a damaged or overworked heart valve. Heart-valve defects may be present at birth or heart-valve disease may result from other illnesses‚ such as rheumatic fever‚ heart disease‚ heart attacks‚ or infective endocarditis. It may be normal‚ or

most common is a mitral heart prolapse. More of a defect than a disease‚ but equally as troublesome‚ mitral heart prolapse afflicts as many as 8 million people in the United States alone. Essentially it is a faulty heart valve‚ particularly the mitral valve (hence the name). Because of this valve’s malfunction‚ when the heart normally contracts to pump blood through the body‚ the mitral valve slips back into place too fragile. In direct opposition to this condition is mitral valve stenosis that is
