There are four valves in the heart: the tricuspid and the mitral valve, which lie between the atria and ventricles, and the pulmonic and aortic valves, which lie between the ventricles and the blood vessels leaving the heart. The heart valves help to maintain one-way blood flow through the heart
are thin flexible flaps of connective tissue normally permitting one-way blood flow through the heart.
Valves within the heart that open and close automatically to control blood flow into, through, and out of the heart.
Natural valves in the heart that automatically close and open in order to regulate the blood flow; can be replaced with valves from a donor or with artificial valves Holter monitor: A device for recording an electrocardiogram over a longer period in order to detect abnormal changes of the cardiac rhythm Home Monitoring: Home Monitoring pacemakers, ICDs and heart failure therapy devices can send messages to an exterior device using an integrated antenna and a transmitter; subsequently, the exterior device sends the messages to the BIOTRONIK service center using the GSM phone network; in a third step, the physician reads the messages on a secured website
There are four heart valves. All are one-way valves. Blood entering the heart first passes through the tricuspid valve and then the pulmonary valve. After returning from the lungs, the blood passes through the mitral (bicuspid) valve and exits via the aortic valve.
A tissue that prevents the back flow of blood into the heart. The heart valves can be donated and transplanted.
