  A Mechanical Heart Valve is an artificial heart valve that is made up of materials like carbon and titanium. When the aortic valve present in the heart gets defective then it is replaced by a mechanical heart valve through surgery. It consists of two consecutive leaflets with a metal ring that is implanted in place of the original valve. This full process is known as heart valve replacement . ROLE OF AORTIC VALVE The Aortic valve stenosis is situated in the middle of the aorta and the left ventricle or it separates the left ventricle from the aorta. At the time of contraction of the left ventricle, the blood moves through the aortic valve into the aorta. The aorta then provides the oxygenated blood to the entire body parts. If the valve becomes leaky or gets narrower it may not open or close properly which may result in backward flow of the heart. If not treated on time it may give rise to various valvular diseases. ADVANTAGE OF MECHANICAL HEART VALVE The main benefit ...

  Mitral Valve Regurgitation is a condition when the blood flowing through the heart to different body parts does not flow in the correct direction. When our heart pumps blood it follows a specific path to reach an entire body part. When the Mitral Valve that is present between the 2 chambers on the left side of the heart does not close tightly it may lead to backward flow of blood into the heart. It reduces the efficiency of the heart and gives rise to different valvular diseases. Mitral Valve Regurgitation is also known as Mitral Insufficiency or Mitral Incompetence . SYMPTOMS: If one is suffering from mild MVR, then they may not notice any symptom but if the condition gets severe or worst these symptoms may be seen- ·        Swelling in feet and ankle ·        Drowsiness or tiredness ·        Hovering heartbeat ·        Uneasy breathing · ...

  The On-X Aortic Valve is a more up to date age heart valve made of an interesting material and plan attributes contrasted and before ages of mechanical heart valves. bioprosthetic valve replacement The On-X Aortic Valve is the solitary mechanical valve with FDA and CE endorsement as being clinically demonstrated protected with altogether less blood more slender (warfarin).18,† The American Heart Association rules express that less Blood Clot more slender might be sensible for patients with the mechanical On-X Aortic Valve. Heart failure 3 In an imminent randomized clinical preliminary, On-X Aortic Valve patients with a diminished blood more slender dose† had > 60% less draining occasions without an increment in hazard of stroke. mitral insufficiency 18 The On-X Aortic Valve, as a mechanical heart valve, has a much lower hazard of reoperation than tissue valves, with the extra advantage of less draining danger than other mechanical aortic valves due to the fundamentally ...

  The Aortic valve stenosis and the Mitral valve regurgitation   are the most ordinarily supplanted valves. Pneumonic and tricuspid valve substitutions are genuinely unprecedented in grown-ups. Supplanting a limited valve: The most well-known surgery for aortic stenosis, Heart Valve Disease or narrowing of the aortic valve, is aortic valve substitution. Mitral stenosis is another condition that may require valve substitution or fix. Supplanting a cracked valve: Aortic spewing forth (once in a while alluded to as aortic inadequacy) is another basic valve issue that may require valve substitution. artificial heart valve   Spewing forth implies that the valve permits blood to return in reverse through the valve and into the heart as opposed to pushing it ahead and out to the body. Aortic disgorging can in the long run lead to cardiovascular breakdown. Mitral spewing forth may likewise require a valve substitution. In this condition, the mitral valve permits o...

  ON-X-AORTIC VALVE   is the new exolution of valves amongst  Mechanical Heart Valve  and  Bioprosthetic Heart Valve . What makes it different from other artificial valves is its distinctive material and unique features. WHAT IS IT MADE OF? ON-X-AORTIC VALVE is a single valve that is made up of pure carbon. The pure carbon in it provides a more polished surface than any other artificial valve. The smoother surface is inversely proportional to blood clotting which means the smoother the surface of the valve the less blood clot on it. FEATURES :  Approved by FDA [FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION] and CE [Conformité Européenne]. ·      It reduces the chances of bleeding at a certain level. ·      THROMBOEMBOLISM- no increment ·      Requires the least WARFARIN.
