Valvular and Vascular Repair and Regeneration People with valvular heart disease may require surgery to repair or replace the damaged heart valve. While many mechanical and biological replacement options exist today, each has its drawbacks. Center for Regenerative Medicine researchers plan to develop biological heart valves using a patient's own cells.

Congenital Heart Defects Some people who have cardiomyopathy never have signs or symptoms. Others don't have signs or symptoms in the early stages of the disease. As cardiomyopathy worsens and the heart weakens, signs and symptoms of heart failure usually occur. These signs and symptoms include: 1  Shortness of breath or trouble breathing, especially with physical exertion. 2  Fatigue (tiredness). 3  Swelling in the ankles, feet, legs, abdomen and veins in the neck.

cardiomyopathy Mitral valve syndrome is the term for the condition experienced by the small number of people who have symptomatic MVP. Symptoms, which in some cases may be related to leaking of the mitral valve, can include: 1  Chest pain (not caused by coronary artery disease or a heart attack). 2  Dizziness. 3  Fatigue. 4  Sensation of feeling the heart beat (palpitations). 5  Shortness of breath with activity or when lying flat (orthopnea).

Is there a difference between valvular regurgitation and valvular stenosis? Normally the he valves will allow the blood to flow in only one direction but when damaged the valves will not operate correctly. Valvular regurgitation (leakiness) and stenosis (stiffness) are the two major type of heart valve disease.If the damage to the valve is large enough you could suffer from heart valve disease and if left unchecked the possibility of a heart attack or even death is greatly increased. Causes of heart valve disease.ormally the he valves will allow the blood to flow in only one direction but when damaged the valves will not operate correctly.

- What are the symptoms of tricuspid valve regurgitation? Tricuspid regurgitation may not have any symptoms or the symptoms be vague, such as weakness and fatigue, which develop because the heart is not pumping enough blood to allow the body to receive the needed oxygen.ometimes long-standing disorders, such as emphysema or pulmonary stenosis can cause problems that affect the tricuspid valve which is “upstream” from the lungs. To compensate, the right ventricle enlarges so that it can pump harder, which sometimes causes the tricuspid opening to become stretched out and floppy.

Heart Valve Problems Damage to the four valves of the heart can occur as a result of defects from birth, heart disease or chronic conditions such as emphysema or high blood pressure. Valve damage comes in two forms: regurgitation and stenosis. Regurgitation occurs when the valves are unable to close fully, allowing blood to flow backward. damaged valve can have either or both defects. Because heart valve damage often develops slowly, symptoms often are not present or are vague, such as a general feeling of fatigue. There are a few symptoms specific to each type of damage to each valve. A doctor, however, should make the final diagnosis.

Heart Valve Disorders Valvular Regurgitation. This may be also called “leaky valve” and occurs when any of the heart valves do not close properly, causing blood to flow backwards. Symptoms can include shortness of breath, cough, fatigue, heart palpitations, light-headedness, and swelling of the feet and ankles.

Problem: Mitral Valve Regurgitation If regurgitation is severe enough, the forward flow of blood is reduced enough to cause heart failure (when the heart does not pump enough blood to the body) which may produce also symptoms ranging from shortness of breath during exertion, coughing, congestion around the heart and lungs, swelling of the legs and feet.
