All you want to know about Heart Valve Replacement

Heart Valve Replacement surgery is done to correct any ailment of the valves. The valves are the most important organs of the human body that help in the proper functioning of the heart.

Heart Valve Replacement Surgery can be done either in a natural (biologic) or artificial (mechanical) way. Human donors provide natural valves in biologic valve replacement surgery. Modified natural valves come from animal donors in valve replacement. Artificial valves are made of metal.

One of the advantages of having natural Valves In Heart Valve Surgery is that they rarely require lifelong medication. On the other hand, a Heart Valve Replacement Surgery patient receiving an artificial valve may need to take lifelong medication to prevent blood clots. Generally, a doctor recommends Heart Valve Surgery if there is narrowing known as Stenosis, or the leaking of the heart valve, also known as Regurgitation.

There are many reasons to undergo heart valve surgery for valve caused by birth defects, calcium deposits (calcification), infections such as rheumatic fever, and other external reasons like medications. If the doctor recommends valve replacement surgery, then it should be done immediately as defective valves may result in serious problems like congestive heart failure and infections (infective endocarditis).

Though there are very, very few risks of heart valve replacement surgery like reaction to medications, infections etc, yet till date the success rate of heart valve surgery is high. Valve replacement surgery can relieve all the painfulness of the heart and in fact also prolong your life.

The recovery period of valve replacement surgery differs from patient to patient. Though the hospital may discharge you after a few days of the valve replacement surgery, it takes 6-8 weeks for a heart valve replacement surgery patient to return to normalcy.

Heart Valve $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A heart valve normally allows blood to flow through it in only one direction. There are four in a mammalian heart and they determine the pathway of blood flow through the heart. A heart valve opens or closes depending on the different pressures on each side of it. The four valves in the heart are: The two atrioventricular (AV) valves, which are between the atria and the ventricles, are the mitral valve and the tricuspid valve. The two semilunar (SL) valves, which are in the arteries leaving the heart, are the aortic valve and the pulmonary valve. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Mitral Valve Repair: The Biological Solution $91.06 The surgical treatment of the aortic valve and root disease, organic and ischemic mitral regurgitation, and endocarditis has made great strides. Still, there is the well-known dilemma: on the one hand the need for anticoagulation in patients with mechanical valves that otherwise guarantee long-term functioning and, on the other, the unpredictable durability of biological substitutes and of valve repair procedures which, per se, do not require anticoagulation. The choice of procedure is determined by factors such as patients’ age, metabolic and bleeding disorders, and bleeding preconditions, as well as such critical issues as the desire to bear children in young women. The book contains a collection of proceedings of The Berlin Heart Valve Symposium 2008 and The Berlin Mitral Valve Repair Symposium at the joint meeting of the Society for Heart Valve Disease and the Heart Valve Society of America in June 2009. It will be attended by internationally renowned experts who will focus on current surgical approaches to and evolving trends in aortic and mitral valve repair, aortic root and valve replacement with pulmonary autograft, aortic allograft, stentless and stented bioprostheses. Further contributions will deal with recent advances in catheter-based percutaneous and transapical techniques, ablation techniques for atrial fibrillation, tissue engineering of heart valves, multi-modality imaging, and anticoagulation.

Critical Care of Children with Heart Disease: Basic Medical and Surgical Concepts $199 Pediatric cardiac intensive care patients pose special challenges to those practitioners caring for them. Many issues may be encountered when caring for children in a cardiac intensive care setting, which will significantly influence the management of these patients.Critical Care of Children with Heart Disease provides the physician with an overview of both the medical and surgical facets of caring for pediatric patients with congenital or acquired cardiac disease. It covers the general aspects of pediatric intensive care ranging from mechanical ventilation and cardiac anesthesia, sedation and pain management, to cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac catheterization, echocardiography, in addition to describing the special monitoring required for pediatric cardiac patients. It also includes important recent developments in assessing and reporting risk factors. Specific cardiac anomalies, including acyanotic defects, right and left obstructive heart lesions, atrio-ventricular valve anomalies, pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathies, and other complex heart defects, are also addressed, while mechanical assistance, renal replacement therapy, transplant, arrhythmias, as well as the ethical and legal issues involving the discontinuation of support of patients are also covered in detail.The internationally renowned Editorial board have assembled a distinguished panel of contributors to write this valuable teaching and learning resource. It will be of great value to all physicians involved in the management of pediatric cardiac intensive care patients including cardiac intensivists, surgeons, fellows, residents and nurses.

Elucidating the Molecular-Level Events in Valvular Interstitial Cell Calcification to Improve the Design of Tissue-Engineered Heart Valves. $116.81 New – Calcification is the leading cause of native and bioprosthetic heart valve failure, yet its etiology and progression remain poorly understood. Total valve replacement, which is both invasive and accompanied by numerous shortcomings, is commonly performed to replace stenotic valves, but there are currently no medical agents that are FDA-approved for the prevention of aortic valve disease progression. Tissue engineering offers an attractive alternative to current valve replacement options. T

Fabry Disease $209 Fabry disease is an X-linked inborn error of metabolism wherein deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme results in systemic deposition of glycosphingolipids. Storage deposition, and hence pathological disease, occurs preferentially in renal glomerular and tubular epithelial cells, myocardial cells, heart valve fibrocytes, neurons of dorsal root ganglia, and in endothelial smooth muscle cells of blood vessels. Thus, Fabry disease is a multi-system disorder, albeit with considerable phenotypic heterogeneity in onset and in severity; however, it is progressive, exhibits extensive morbidity, and is life-threatening. Within the past two decades, there has been a radical change in the natural course Fabry disease by virtue of the availability of specific enzyme replacement therapy. Moreover, there has been a concerted effort to better understand the underlying pathology and equally to identify patients prior to the onset of irreversible end-organ damage. It is to be hoped that the future for patients with Fabry disease can be viewed with greater, albeit guarded, optimism. This state-of-the-art textbook attempts to bridge the span of pre-clinical studies, clinical finding, and management options in a readable but comprehensive manner for the medical practitioner as well as the interested non-medical reader.
