Diseases of the heart valves<\/h1><\/div>

The four heart valves act as non-return valves to ensure a regulated blood flow throughout the body. The heart valves are exposed to great forces and open and close around 100,000 times a day. <\/p>\n

As a result, they can become narrowed (valve stenosis) or leaky (valve insufficiency). It is not uncommon for combinations of different heart valve disorders to occur. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
