Presence of prosthetic heart valve - what does this mean
A prosthetic heart valve is a device that is surgically implanted into the heart to replace a diseased or damaged heart valve. the prosthetic valve is made of a metal or plastic frame that holds a valve made of fabric or tissue. the valve is designed to open and close with each heartbeat, allowing blood to flow in one direction and preventing it from flowing back the other way.
What happens during the disease - presence of prosthetic heart valve
The presence of a prosthetic heart valve can lead to a variety of pathologies, including thromboembolism, infection, and structural valve deterioration. thromboembolism occurs when a blood clot forms on the valve and is then released into the bloodstream, leading to blockages in other organs. infection of the valve can occur when bacteria or other microorganisms enter the bloodstream and attach to the valve. structural valve deterioration is caused by wear and tear of the valve over time, leading to leakage and eventual failure.
