  2. Heart valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_valve

    These valves do not have chordae tendineae, and are more similar to the valves in veins than they are to the atrioventricular valves. The closure of the semilunar valves causes the second heart sound. The aortic valve, which has three cusps, lies between the left ventricle and the aorta.

  3. Heart sounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_sounds

    The first heart sound, or S 1, forms the "lub" of "lub-dub" and is composed of components M 1 (mitral valve closure) and T 1 (tricuspid valve closure). Normally M 1 precedes T 1 slightly. It is caused by the closure of the atrioventricular valves, i.e. tricuspid and mitral (bicuspid), at the beginning of ventricular contraction, or systole ...

    Advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday backed an approval for Abbott Laboratories' heart valve repair device that is designed for patients who are at risk of complications or ...

  5. Phonocardiogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonocardiogram

    Heart sounds result from vibrations created by the closure of the heart valves. There are at least two; the first (S1) is produced when the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral) close at the beginning of systole and the second (S2) when the aortic valve and pulmonary valve (semilunar valves) close at the end of systole. [4]

  6. Mitral valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitral_valve

    A valve prolapse can result in mitral insufficiency, which is the regurgitation or backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium due to the incomplete closure of the valve causing a systolic murmur heard at the apex of the heart. This increase in pressure in the left atrium and pulmonary circuit can lead to symptoms like fatigue ...

  7. Atrioventricular septal defect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_septal_defect

    Treatment is surgical and involves closure of the atrial and ventricular septal defects and restoration of a competent left AV valve as far as is possible. Open surgical procedures require a heart-lung machine and are done with a median sternotomy. Surgical mortality for uncomplicated ostium primum defects in experienced centers is 2%; for ...

  8. Tricuspid valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricuspid_valve

    The tricuspid valve, or right atrioventricular valve, is on the right dorsal side of the mammalian heart, at the superior portion of the right ventricle.The function of the valve is to allow blood to flow from the right atrium to the right ventricle during diastole, and to close to prevent backflow (regurgitation) from the right ventricle into the right atrium during right ventricular ...

  9. Atrioventricular canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrioventricular_canal

    The mitral valve and tricuspid valve are formed by the proper division of an early common valve being separated into two. [5] Atrioventricular canal defect may be divided into partial or complete forms. In the partial form, openings between the left and right atria and improper formation of the mitral valve exist.
