Question

right my doctor has told me in my heart i have 3 valves but 2 of them are stuck togther what will he have to do to them ??

Answer 1

I am assuming you are talking about stenosis of I suspect the aortic and mitral valves. assuming you have never has rheumatic fever, which is now rare, the likeliest cause is probably atherosclerosis due to raised cholesterol. Depending on your age and fitness and the severity of the stenosis, valve replacement may well be what is offered.

Answer 2

There are four main valves in the heart.
Mitral valve connecting left auricle and left ventricle.
Aortic valve situates in the left ventricle at the beginning of the aorta, the main artery of the human body.
Tricupid valve connecting right auricle and right ventricle.
Pulmonary valve situates in the right ventricle at the beginning of the pulmonary artery carrying the impure blood to the lungs.
(1) The valves may adhere together, causing a narrowing of the valve opening and obstruction to the flow of blood. This is usually known as stenosis of the valve.
(2) Because of the loss of elasticity and distortion of the valve the latter may not close properly, so that a leakage or regurgitation of blood results.This is known as incompetence of the valve.
Chronic rheumatic valvular disease may affect all the valves of the heart but the most commonly damaged are the mitral and aortic valves. Mitral stenosis and aortic incompetence are the conditions which most commonly arise, although mitral incompetence and aortic stenosis also occur. Quite often, mitral stenosis and aortic incompetence develop in the same person.
The treatment options for mitral stenosis include medical management, surgical replacement of the valve, and percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty.

Answer 3

Why you did not mentioned which valve you are talking about ?What is your age ?How you grown up to this age without any problem?Are you suffering any shortness in breath?palpitation that is consciousness of the heart beat?perspiration even on light exertion?getting pain on left side of chest?what are your symptoms?What are your signs ?Have you under gone any Echo cardiograpy exam?It is a non invasive procedure and it is rather the best way to find out what valve is affected and to what extent ?color dopplar study is also will tell you much more for this !Unless this is done please dont go for anything else!See If you have no symptoms or signs clinically than probably you can wait and can consult some other doctor !I suppose you are not having any congenital heart disease !God will take care ! Always YouRsmE

Answer 4

I think you'd need to provide more info-most of us have 4 valves-some with 3 some with 2 leaflets.
I suspect your doctor will know what to do[we hope]!

Answer 5

I'm not a doctor.... But...

Your heart actually has 4 valves..
Mitral, Tricuspid, Aortic and Pulmonary Valves

I would go back to your doctor and ask them to tell you what the treatment is.

Answer 6

As you have not mentioned which valves (names) are stuck up , you will be referred to cardiac surgeon for further treatment and management of your case.
This is the brief answer which will help you to get mentally prepared.
Take care.
