Heart+Valve+Disease

My topic for Exihbition is Heart valve disease. Heart valve disease is valves in your heart that do not work proprly.

 * __Definition of human health__**

Human health means making a person’s body fit and free from sickness or disease.When someone isn’t healthy they can feel tired, have no energy, look very pale, and may even have a fever. Some people do not have a healthy heart so they look tired and pale. There can be many reasons for this. Heart valve disease is one of these and it can make people feel many of these symptoms. Luckily this problem can be fixed and people with this heart defect can lead a healthy and happy life.

How does the heart and its valves work?   The heart and its valves work together to pump the blood through your veins and arteries to keep you healthy and alive.

First, oxygen poor blood (blue blood) flows into your right atrium and your tricuspid valve opens to let the blood flow into your right ventricle, your pulmonary valve and flows through your pulmonary arteries. After, oxygen poor blood reaches your lungs the oxygen there refreshes your blood making it turn into oxygen rich blood (red blood). Once, oxygen rich blood enters the left atrium and your mitral valve opens and lets your blood run down to your left ventricle. Soon your blood goes out your Aortic valve, running down your veins and blood arteries. Then, the blood cycle continues on and on and on. How does the heart and its valves work    The causes for a heart valves to stop working properly are:

 What are some causes that make the valves not work properly????

 Well a common reason is before birth it can either the valve grows to short or never grew at all but no one knows why. It is most often the aortic valves and the pulmonic valves that fail to work properly. Another reason for heart valve disease can be Rheumatic fever.Rheumatic fever is caused by an infection. If the infection is not treated it could become inflamed, but that could occur then only in the next 20-40 years. One other cause is Endocarditis which is when germs and bacteria enter the bloodstreams. Then the germs and bacteria that are in the bloodstreams can attack the heart’s valve making it to develop holes that causes leaks in the heart valves.      What are heart valve disease symptoms???? The symptoms of heart valve disease are..................

 There are many sorts of symptoms for heart valve disease, many of these symptoms mostly appear if the patient has a serious heart defect. One of the symptoms is dizziness and tiredness because you don’t have enough oxygen rich blood flowing through your body. Another symptom might be shortness of breath because your heart needs to pump faster to get enough blood and oxygen through your body to keep you healthy. A heart patient might have a symptom of swelling of your ankles, feet or abdomen. A possible symptom could be rapid weight gain. If someone feels most of these symptoms they should see a doctor or a cardiologist.
