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.
@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.
My left ear enjoyed this.....

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