Valvular heart disease
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Valvular heart disease is any disease process involving one or more valves of the heart. The valves in the right side of the heart are the tricuspid valve and the pulmonic valve. The valves in the left side of the heart are the mitral valve and the aortic valve.

Each valve may be too narrow (stenosis) or too wide or loose, causing regurgitation. There are different types of valvular heart disease:
- Aortic insufficiency
- Aortic valve stenosis
- Endocarditis
- Heart valve dysplasia
- Libman-Sacks endocarditis
- Loeffler endocarditis
- Mitral regurgitation
- Mitral stenosis
- Mitral valve prolapse
- Pulmonary valve stenosis
- Tricuspid insufficiency
- Tricuspid valve stenosis
