Common Heart Problems - Valvular Heart Disease
valvular heart disease is part of a complete Heart Care Information Index provided as a community service by Advocate Health Care, Chicago.
http://www.advocatehealth.com/system/info/library/articles/heartcare/common/valv

Extractions: Valvular Heart Disease There are four valves in your heart which act like one-way doors. The heart valves open and close with each beat of your heart and control the direction of blood flow. If, however, one of your valves becomes diseased or damaged by birth defects, rheumatic fever, infection, or the aging process, there may be disruption of the blood flow through the heart. When this happens, the heart is forced to work harder, to try to get the oxygen-rich blood to the rest of your body, and you may experience chest pains, shortness of breath, dizziness, become easily fatigued, or experience other symptoms. Generally, the aortic and mitral valves are most often affected.
Common Heart Problems - Valvular Heart Disease And Endocarditis
valvular heart disease and Endocarditis is part of a complete Heart Care Information Index provided as a community service by Advocate Health Care, Chicago.
http://www.advocatehealth.com/system/info/library/articles/heartcare/common/valv

Extractions: Valvular Heart Disease and Endocarditis Because of your valvular heart condition you are at an increased risk for a heart valve infection called bacterial endocarditis. Bacterial endocarditis can occur whenever bacteria enters your bloodstream and attaches to your abnormal valve. The more abnormal your valve, the greater the risk of endocarditis. Bacteria can enter the bloodstream during surgical procedures or dental work. Even minor surgery or teeth cleaning can allow bacterial invasion of the blood. In normal health, your body's defenses combat bacteria, but in the presence of valvular heart disease, the bacteria can hide and grow on your heart valve. Procedures such as endoscopies can also increase the risk of bacterial endocarditis. Endocarditis can be prevented by the administration of antibiotics immediately before and after the procedure. Usually, oral medication is sufficient, but in some situations intravenous antibiotics are required. It is important that you notify the physician or dentist who will be performing the procedure to inform them of your valvular heart condition. In many instances, they will prescribe your antibiotic. If any uncertainty exists, please contact your cardiologist for further assistance. These precautions can help you reduce the risk of a serious, life-threatening infection. If you have further questions, please contact your physician.

stenotic. A person with valvular heart disease may have either insufficient or stenotic heart valves, or a combination of both.
http://www.health-alliance.com/learnabout/learn_valvular.htm

Extractions: Normal heart valves open wide and close tight in response to changing pressure within the heart chambers. When there is valvular disease, the valves may not close tightly and blood may leak through. This is called insufficiency or regurgitation. When the valve does not open fully, it is described as stenotic. A person with valvular heart disease may have either insufficient or stenotic heart valves, or a combination of both. When heart valves do not function normally because of disease, your doctor may recommend replacement with a prosthetic (artificial) valve.

By determining the cause of valvular heart disease, treatment can be targeted. Antibiotics may be given prior to certain procedures
http://www.baptistonline.org/health/library/card3488.asp

Extractions: There are four valves in the heart. These valves allow the blood to flow one way, but not another. When blood enters the heart from the body, it goes through the tricuspid valve. Next, the blood goes to the lungs to get rid of carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. When it is pumped to the lungs it goes out the heart past the pulmonic valve. After blood passes through the lungs, it re enters the heart. The blood carrying oxygen first goes past the mitral valve. Next, the blood is pumped out to the body. The last valve the blood goes by before it leaves the heart is the aortic valve. To work properly, each valve must open and close completely at the right time. If a valve is scarred so that it is stiff and cannot open well, it is "stenotic". A stenotic valve forms a narrowed passage, making the heart work harder to pump blood. This can make the heart wall thicker. When a valve does not close completely, so that blood goes backwards, it is "insufficient" or "incompetent". This makes the heart work harder by causing it to pump some of the same blood twice. When this happens the heart, or one of its four chambers gets bigger. The heart valves can become diseased for many reasons. Sometimes the valves are not normal at birth. Rheumatic fever used to be a common cause of valve disease, but it is not seen much any more. Bacteria can infect the heart valves. This is called bacterial endocarditis. Injured valves makes a sound as the blood passes through them. This sound is called a murmur and is best heard through a stethoscope. Not all murmurs mean that there is a valve problem. Also, not all valve problems cause problems for the patient. Many people live a normal life with a small amount of valve disease.

Valvular Heart Disease And Fenfluramine-phentermine
valvular heart disease associated with fenfluraminephentermine. valvular heart disease associated with fenfluramine-phentermine.

Extractions: Authors Connolly H, Crary J, McGoon M, Hensrud D, Edwards B, Edwards W, Schaff H. Source New England Journal of Medicine. 337:581-8. August 28, 1997. Institutions Mayo Clinic, Rochester Minn.; MeritCare Medical Center, Fargo, ND. Support None indicated. The serotoninergic drugs fenfluramine and its d-isomer dexfenfluramine as well as the adrenergic agonist phentermine have been increasingly prescribed for the treatment of obesity. All of these medications have been implicated in the development of pulmonary hypertension, possibly through a serotonin-related mechanism. Serotonin has also been implicated in the development of specific cardiac valvular lesions seen in the carcinoid syndrome and in patients taking ergotamine preparations. This is the first report of similar cardiac valvular problems in patients taking the combination of fenfluramine and phentermine. Identification of cases This was not a case-control study, and there was no clearly defined methodology for case finding. In May, 1996 a 41 year old woman underwent mitral valve repair at the Mayo Clinic for severe mitral regurgitation. At surgery, the valve had a glistening white appearance, suggestive of ergotamine-induced damage, but there was no history to support this. Two months later the same patient was found to have severe tricuspid regurgitation and thickened leaflets; at this time a history was obtained indicating fenfluramine-phentermine use for 25 months prior to her surgery.

Extractions: Endnotes (1-21) In defining the "Levels of Severity " which qualify class members for matrix compensation benefits, the Settlement requires the application of a standardized methodology or protocol. Endnotes have been used in the description of levels of valvular heart disease to indicate reference to a standardized methodology or protocol. The referenced methodologies or protocols, together with the corresponding endnote, are as follows: (Also see endnotes See Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine , 1878, 1885 (14th ed. 1998). See C. Otto, The Practice of Clinical Echocardiography See J.P. Singh, et al., "Prevalence and Clinical Determinants of Mitral, Tricuspid and Aortic Regurgitation (The Framingham Heart Study)," American J. Cardiology Table I Definitions of Grades of Regurgitation GRADES MR AR Absent Trace w/in 1 cm of valve Mild Moderate Severe Valvular regurgitation was assessed qualitatively using these semiquantitative categories as guidelines.JH= jet height; LAA= left atrial area; LVOH= left ventricular outflow height; RAA= right atrial area; RJA= regurgi-tant jet area; w/in= within. Conventional pulsed Doppler echocardiography was performed routinely in apical 4- and 5-chamber views by selective placement of the sample volume on the color Doppler echocardiographic regurgitation signals when present. Valvular regurgitation was diagnosed using color-coded Doppler imaging proximal to the valve plane during its closure and extended into the chamber proximal to the valve. For color Doppler studies, gain settings were adjusted to eliminate background speckling and to maximize the extent of intracavity velocity coding. MR was sought from the parasternal long-axis, apical 4- and 2-chamber, apical long-axis, and subcostal views. AR was sought using the parasternal long-axis, parasternal shortaxis, apical 5-chamber, and apical long-axis views.

In such a complex structure, every part must work together, normally, for the heart to be "normal" . If even one part of the heart does not do it's job well, the other parts will be harmed. And this causes HEART DISEASE. Diseases can affect different parts of the heart. They can damage the VALVES - and this results in VALVULAR heart disease . The CORONARY ARTERIES , that supply energy to the heart itself, may be abnormal - causing CORONARY heart disease . There may be defects in the normal growth and development of the heart even before a child is born , and many different parts of the heart may be abnormal. This group of diseases is known as CONGENITAL heart disease - or more commonly "birth defects".

Permax Linked To Valvular Heart Disease
PERMAX. PARKINSONS DISEASE DRUG PERMAX (PERGOLIDE) LINKED TO valvular heart disease. valvular heart disease is a condition which impairs heart function.
http://www.zimmreed.com/FSL5CS/news/news center150.html

Extractions: PERMAX The valvular heart disease found in these patients was similar to the damage found in patients who took the diet drugs Redux and Pondimin ( fen-phen Redux and Pondimin were withdrawn from the market following reports of serious valvular heart damage. Valvular heart disease is a condition which impairs heart function. The heart functions as a one-way pump to move blood through the lungs and the body. Within the heart, one-way valves work to prevent the backward flow of blood in the heart. In patients with valvular heart disease, one or more of these valves fails to seal properly and allows significant amounts of blood to flow backwards, or regurgitate. Valvular regurgitation increases the workload on the heart and, in sufficiently severe cases, can require heart valve replacement surgery. Left unchecked and untreated, some types of valvular heart disease can progress to the point where the patient is at risk of death from heart failure. The Mayo article reported that other causes of the valvular heart disease found in the three Permax patients were considered and eliminated.
