Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 2013
Heart valve disease is often characterized by a prolonged asymptomatic period that lasts for years and presents primary care physicians with an opportunity to detect disease before irreversible heart failure or other cardiac complications develop. Acute valvular disease can masquerade as respiratory illness or present with nonspecific systemic symptoms,

The microvasculature of heart valves in rheumatic heart disease
American Heart Journal, 1972Abstract The process of vascularization of the valves of 18 hearts with features of rheumatic heart disease, which were part of a larger series of 147 hearts from patients who died at the Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda, has been studied using injection, microradiographic, and histological techniques.

Heart Valve Diseases in Pregnancy
2019Various congenital or acquired valvular heart diseases (VHD) may be present in pregnant women, and may significantly increase the maternal and fetal risk associated with pregnancy. Pregnancy is associated with significant haemodynamic changes that may aggravate VHD, precipitate or exacerbate symptoms, and increase the risk of thrombo-embolic events ...

Heart valve disease: pulmonary valve disease
2016Abstract Congenital abnormalities of the pulmonary valve (PV) are common either as a single lesion or in the context of more complex congenital lesions where abnormalities of the PV play a major role in the cardiac physiology. Transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) imaging of the PV is relatively straightforward in the normally connected ...

Heart valve disease: tricuspid valve disease
2016Abstract The tricuspid valve is currently the subject of much interest from echocardiographers and surgeons. Functional tricuspid regurgitation is the most frequent aetiology of tricuspid valve pathology, is characterized by structurally normal leaflets, and is due to annular dilation and/or leaflet tethering.

Valvular heart disease, infected valves and prosthetic heart valves
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1990The major causes of systemic embolism from valvular heart disease (mitral, aortic and mitral valve prolapse), prosthetic valves (both mechanical and tissue valves) and infected valves (endocarditis) are reviewed from the standpoint of their incidence and complications.

This chapter was designed to provide the reader with a brief overview of the current surgical treatment options for heart valve disease. Major topics of discussion are: (1) development of prosthetic valve replacements; (2) current issues with valve replacement; (3) major valvular diseases that affect humans in the Western world; and (4) recent advances

Heart valve disease: a journey of discovery
Heart, 2022In the centenary year of the British Cardiovascular Society (BCS), this review article outlines the influence of UK cardiologists and surgeons on the field of heart valve disease, many of whom can rightly claim ‘world firsts’ in the field. From the description of endocarditis as we know it today at the turn of the 20th century, to the first mitral ...

The function of the heart is to circulate blood in closed circuit to the lungs, where blood is oxygenated, and out to the body, where oxygen provides fuel for cellular metabolism. To accomplish this task, blood is pumped by the right heart system from the body to the lungs.
