Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to explain this. my friend is going through her 3rd aortic valve replacement and hopefully her last.

Very informative video, fantastic

[jennystgirls]

i don't understand what makes the valve close, is it connected to nerve endings?

[3669999]

@jennystgirls The pressure in the chambers makes valves open and close. When the the atrium contracts, the pressure rise and it makes the atrioventrucular ( mitral and tricuspid ) valves open. When the atrium relaxes and the ventricle contracts the pressure rise in the ventricle, and the pressure in the atrium drops, thus causes to close the atrioventrical valves. Same goes to the aortic and pulmonary valves. All 4 valves in the heart are passive, as are other valves in human body.

Gaudiani did my surgery to replace my defective aorta valve in March, and he did a wonderful job. Just saw him four days ago for a follow-up visit. He's a really cool doc! :-)

If you have a mechanical heart valve and have trouble sleeping, but you don't want to use drugs to sleep - you can purchase the psychoacoustic audio recording "Heartbeat River" at cdbaby.com. It may help.

1500 gal/day...that's 62.5 gal/hour = 1 gal/min.

to help visualize, this it can fill one milk container per minute

This video is great to understand everything. My mum is due to go in for a valve replacement in the next few days and I just watched it with her after seeing it myself a few days earlier. It gives you confidence in the machinery and practice involved and really makes you look at the heart as a mechanical device that can be repaired. It has boosted confidence and taken away some of the nerves so thank you for posting.

@beat builder , you need to see both a cardiologist and an obstetrician , valve regurge is not all the same , the degree and course of which varies , and thus the necessary intervention or follow up , just dont ignore the case and everything is gonna be alright.

My wife has a leaky heart valve and she is pregnant at the moment shes due february 4th 2011, i was just wondering if there will be any complication giving birth with this heart problem can somone give me an answer this really scares me i dont wana loose my wife my child or both of them :( plz someone hlp me here

i might be having this done on Friday coming up, I have had heart problems since i was born. this will be the biggest surgery so far and i'm 19. If you know me i have had 38 surgeries by the time i was 18, this will be my fourth heart related, 10 on my ears, 3 for personal things, and my mom told me 24 others that i was too young to know about. Any way i want to thank you for letting me know a little bit about whats going to happen to me.

[kodochasanastage]

@kylesimmons22 Whoa you're kinda like me..except I'm 18 atm XD I always thought I'm the only one who had so many surgeries o.o I had a heart problem since i was born ... 2 heart surgeries so far tho...already have a vavle repalced with a pacemaker.... they're thinking on another surgery since the valve wasn't successful... I had 4 ear surgeries gonna have another one.... like alot of surgery on both of my feet and right knee..eye surgery...stomach...Point is..I'm actually happy i'm not alone >.<
