The Human Heart have four types of valves:

1. Mitral Valve

3. Tricuspid Valve

2. Aortic Valve

4. Pulmonary Valve

Diseases of Valve:

Stenosis	Sclerosis	Prolapse	Regurgitation	Calcification
Atrophy	Hypertrophy	Degeneration	Valvulitis	Fibrosis

Symptoms of a valve disease:

(A) patient’s symptom

(B) Clinical symptoms

Doe-dyspnea on exertion (Breathlessness)

Palpitation, occasionally chest pain

Sweating, semi-unconsciousness

Dry-coughing

Increased hearth rate (Normal 72/min)

Increased blood pressure (Normal 120/80)

Investigation/ Radiological Report:

2D Echo is the main investigation to find out the exact valve disease and the extent of damage to the valve.

Hypertrophy, Atrophy & dilatation.

Internal Dimension such as

• Left ventricular internal dimension at the time of systolic and at the time of diastolic beating

• Left ventricular posterior wall thickness at the time of systolic & diastolic beating

2D Echo also gives us other important things such as

• Valve area in sqcm.

• Valve Peak & mean gradient (each Valve has different gradient)

Heart Valve Stenosis

Stenosis at valves of heart means obstruction or narrowing of the way so valves doesnt opens properly. Age factor, congenital (by birth defect), thickening of valve, calcium deposit at Valves, fibrosis at valves, rheumatic heart disease, etc causes stenosis valves.

Ayurvedic Treatment For Heart Valve Regurgitation

Heart Valve Regurgitation means leaking of the heart Valve.

Blood flow back through the valve at the time of closing valve leaflets

After complete closing of valves blood flow back through the valve Causes of regurgitation.

Congenital defect, degeneration of valves, calcium deposition at leaflet of valve, stenosis, mitral valve prolapse, radiation therapy, infective endocarditis, heart attack, cardiomyopathy, damaged tissue, heart muscles abnormality, etc.

Diagnostic Methods:

Signs and symptoms of patient

2D echo, cardiac MRI, trans esophageal echocardiography

Left ventricle is one of the main pumping chambers of heart, which pumps oxygenated blood to all over body, so the pumping capacity of left ventricle is very important for human being

Ejection fraction of heart is usually measured in left ventricle. Normal range of LVEF is 55 to 70%. So low LVEF is bad sign for patient. Because it affects patients performance, and any kind of surgery becomes risky for these patients. So LVEF remains in normal range always is the patients need.

Ayurvedic Treatment For Mitral Valve Prolapse

The Valve which separates left atrium and left ventricle known as mitral valve. The mitral valve does not close properly known as mitral valve prolapse ( MVP).

Causes of MVP :

Congenital (from birth), increasing age, degeneration, unknown cause.

Symptoms and severity of mitral valve prolapse where is from patient to patient.

2D echo is common diagnostic method to find out MVP.

Treatment for MVP is medical management and surgery, obviously decision depends on 2D echo reports parameters.
