9 Questions
Valvular stenosis is the ______ of heart valves, where the size narrows, and restricts blood flows. The cause is scarring of the valve cups causing adhesions (scar tissues that joins two surfaces, usually separate) between tissue. Mitral valve prolapse affects about 6% of the population. Diagnosis: echocardiogram with an accuracy rate of 95%. Treatment: Prophylactics (medicine to prevent disease) to prevent endocarditis surgical repair if the valve is damaged to a certain extent.
