Valves of the heart are like doors that open and close to keep blood flowing in the right direction. There are four valves in the heart: the mitral valve, the tricuspid valve, the aortic valve, and the pulmonary valve. These valves work together to ensure that blood flows through the heart efficiently, allowing oxygen-rich blood to be pumped out to the body and oxygen-poor blood to be sent to the lungs for re-oxygenation.

quick facts
Heart valves are essential for regulating the flow of blood through the heart chambers.
There are four main types of heart valves: aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary.
Heart valves can become damaged or diseased, leading to conditions such as stenosis or regurgitation.
In some cases, heart valve conditions may require surgical intervention to repair or replace the damaged valve.
The function of heart valves can be monitored through various diagnostic tests, such as echocardiograms or cardiac catheterizations.
