Multiple valve disorders in diseases classified elsewhere - what does this mean

Multiple valve disorders in diseases classified elsewhere is a condition where multiple valves in the heart are affected due to an underlying disease, such as diabetes, hypertension, or other cardiovascular disorders. this can lead to a decrease in the efficiency of the heart's pumping action, resulting in symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue.

What happens during the disease - multiple valve disorders in diseases classified elsewhere

Multiple valve disorders in diseases classified elsewhere is a condition where the valves in the heart are affected by another underlying disease, such as endocarditis, rheumatic fever, or other systemic disorder. the valves become thickened and/or calcified, leading to impaired blood flow and increased pressure in the heart chambers. this can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and palpitations. in severe cases, valve replacement surgery may be necessary.
