The aortic valve, the “valve” at the heart exit, plays a key role in the normal functioning of the heart. It’s like a sophisticated regulator that controls the rhythm and flow of blood from the heart to the body. When there is a problem with the aortic valves, especially with the narrowness of the aortic valves, there is a serious risk to the body.
Normal aortic valves are open without hindrance, allowing the blood pumped out of the heart to flow smoothly to the aorta, thereby feeding the whole body and tissue. When the aortic valves have a narrow cavity, the aortic valves can undergo pathological changes, possibly in the form of a thicker, calcified, or broken valve structures, which leads to a narrower valve and prevents the heart pump. For example, the aortic valve is like a domestic faucet, and if the exit of the faucet is blocked by a part of the product, the current becomes smaller, as does the heart, which, when the valve is narrow, takes a lot of effort to pump the blood out.
The narrowness of the aortic valves may at an early stage have shown only less visible symptoms, such as mild post-activity dysentery, short-temporal, and many may think that they lack exercise or are overworked and neglected. As the condition progresses, the symptoms increase, and the patient may also experience respiratory difficulties in climbing the stairs, leaving or even resting, and may be associated with chest pains, dizziness and inactivity. In serious cases, even life-threatening conditions such as fainting and heart failure occur.
The causes of the narrow aortic valves are complex and age growth is an important factor. As the age rises, the aortic valves gradually undergo deviant changes, as the machine wears and wears. In addition, congenital aortic cortex development abnormalities, certain genetic diseases such as the Marvan syndrome, and the damage to the aortic valves caused by chronic diseases such as chronic hypertension and high blood resin may also trigger the narrowness of the aortic cortex.
In the event of such symptoms, medical attention should be provided in a timely manner. Doctors generally conduct detailed medical examinations and listen to heart noises through the acoustic device, which is an important basis for a preliminary assessment of whether the aortic valves are in question. It also uses a heart ultrasound, which is like a “B super” to the heart, which provides a clear view of the structure, form and blood flow of the aortic valve, so as to determine exactly whether or not there is a narrow and narrow layer. In addition, electrocardiograms, chest X-rays, etc. help to provide a comprehensive picture of the situation.
For narrow treatment of the aortic valves, the appropriate method is chosen according to the severity of the condition. When mildly narrow and symptoms are not apparent, doctors may recommend regular review to closely observe changes in the condition, while at the same time delaying the development of the condition by adjusting the way of life, such as avoiding overwork, controlling blood pressure resin, etc. When it is more narrow, the symptoms clearly affect the quality of life and even endanger life, there is a need for surgical treatment, such as an aortic valve replacement, to restore the normal function of the aortic valve by replacing it with an artificial valve.
The narrowness of the aortic valves, although a serious cardiovascular disease, is not insurmountable. As long as we know its relevant knowledge, early prevention, early detection and early treatment in daily life can effectively reduce its threat to our health, allowing the heart to continue to beat and protect life.
