Heart valves serve as crucial components within the cardiovascular system, orchestrating the intricate symphony of blood circulation in the heart. Comprising the mitral, tricuspid, aortic, and pulmonary valves, each valve is uniquely positioned to facilitate the unidirectional flow of blood, preventing any backward leakage and maintaining the efficiency of the circulatory process. The mitral and tricuspid valves, positioned between the atria and ventricles, meticulously regulate blood flow within these chambers. On the other hand, the aortic and pulmonary valves, situated at the ventricular exits, play a pivotal role in directing blood into the arteries. Maintaining the proper functionality of heart valves is paramount for overall cardiac health. Disruptions such as valve stenosis or regurgitation can compromise their efficacy, potentially giving rise to a spectrum of cardiovascular complications. In cases where intervention is warranted, medical procedures such as valve repair or replacement become imperative to restore optimal heart function and avert potential complications.
