NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Eighty-year-olds with clogged arteries or leaky heart valves used to be sent home with a pat on the arm from their doctors and pills to try to ease their symptoms. Now more are getting open-heart surgery, with remarkable survival rates rivaling those of much younger people, two new studies show.
Pathology
Surgery: valve replacement best if done before EF too low (symptomatic or EF 45 mm; once EF < 30%, results less favorable); valve repair is better if possible (if chordal continuity can be preserved) Rupture of (posterior) papillary muscle (must have high index of suspicion) [NEJM]

After valve surgery, you may be prone to endocarditis, an infection or inflammation of the heart valves. It occurs when bacteria enter the bloodstream and infect damaged valve leaflets. People who have abnormal or damaged heart valves or who have received an artificial heart valve are more vulnerable to the infection.

Describe the problems that can result from faulty valves in the heart. With a leaky or faulty valve, the heart must work harder which can cause a heart attack or death. If valves leak, a heart murmur is heard. Symptoms include – shortness of breath, tiredness, a continual cough and occasional chest pain.

If this occurs near a valve in a large vein then the valve may become ‘leaky’ and blood may flow backwards. Once this happens at one valve there is extra pressure of blood on the next valve down. A combination of slightly weak wall and extra pressure of blood may then cause the lower valve to become leaky too, and so on.

Heart murmur - leaky valve (audible to Dr.-----swish sound) Ex. Mitral valve prolapse - murmur of left AV valve, cusps don’t close properly, blood regurgitates back into left atrium Congestive heart failure - decreased pumping efficiency (diseased valves, damaged muscle), blood backs up, fluid leaks from vessels and collects in lungs and tissues

Mitral valve closes slightly before tricuspid valve. Second Heart Sound. occurs when aortic and pulmonary semilunar valves close at the beginning of ventricular dilation. generated by the vibration of the blood and the aorta. Aortic valve closes slightly before pulmonary valve. Abnormal Heart Sounds (murmurs) - often heard in valvular disease

Valve surgery is carried out to repair leaky or diseased heart valves. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is a device which monitors the electrical rhythm of the heart, and if it detects certain severe abnormalities can deliver an electrical shock directly to the heart to resynchronise the heart rhythm back to normal, and so ...

A percutaneous procedure may be considered in advanced heart failure patients who aren’t candidates for surgery. Options include: Percutaneous valve intervention: A narrowed valve may be repaired using a balloon to widen the valve opening. For a leaky valve, a clip device can clamp the valve flaps to reduce the leak.
