Heart valve
In anatomy, the heart valves are valves in the heart that prevent blood from flowing the wrong way.
Pathology of the valves
- Endocarditis - inflammation of the inner layer of the endocardium.
- Stenosis - a constricture of the heart valve, making it hard for blood to get through.
- Insufficiency - the inability of the heart valve to close properly, meaning some blood can flow the wrong way.
