Heart valves are critical components of the circulatory system, playing a pivotal role in regulating blood flow within the heart. The human heart consists of four valves – the mitral valve, tricuspid valve, aortic valve, and pulmonary valve – each serving a specific purpose. These valves ensure unidirectional blood flow, preventing backward leakage and maintaining efficient circulation. The mitral and tricuspid valves, located between the atria and ventricles, control the flow between these chambers, while the aortic and pulmonary valves, positioned at the exits of the respective ventricles, direct blood into the arteries. Proper functioning of heart valves is essential for maintaining cardiac health. However, conditions such as valve stenosis or regurgitation can impair their effectiveness, leading to various cardiovascular issues. Medical interventions, including valve repair or replacement, are often necessary to restore optimal heart function and prevent complications. Understanding the intricacies of heart valves is vital in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
