Congenital malformations of aortic and mitral valves - what does this mean
Congenital malformations of aortic and mitral valves are caused by abnormal development of the valves during fetal development. these malformations can lead to an obstruction of blood flow through the heart, leading to difficulty in pumping blood and other symptoms associated with heart valve problems.
What happens during the disease - congenital malformations of aortic and mitral valves
Congenital malformations of aortic and mitral valves are caused by abnormal development of the endocardial cushion tissue during fetal development. this results in improper formation of the heart valves, leading to an increase in the pressure in the left side of the heart and a decrease in the pressure in the right side of the heart, resulting in a decrease in the efficiency of the heart to pump blood. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including heart failure, arrhythmias, and stroke.
