Causes of Heart Valve Insufficiency
The most common causes of heart valve failure include genetic factors, congenital causes and inflammatory diseases acquired during childhood. Failure of the valve to close completely can lead to life-threatening damage by deteriorating the functions of the lungs and heart.
As is known, there are four valves in the heart: pulmonary, aortic, mitral and tricuspid. Valve insufficiency usually occurs in the aortic or mitral valve. It shows symptoms such as weakness, getting tired easily, and difficulty breathing. In its initial stages, it is often unnoticed and often occurs by chance.
Today, these surgeries are performed with high success rates thanks to modern surgical treatments; In some cases, the valve is repaired, in other cases it is replaced and an artificial or biological valve is attached to the heart.
