Regurgitation: The valve does not close properly, and blood backflows through the valve (issue with
closure- backflow)
Stenosis: The valve does not open completely, and blood flow through the valve is
reduced (issue with opening- flow reduced)
Valve prolapse: The stretching of an atrioventricular valve leaflet into the atrium during diastole
(stretching of the valve)
Valves of the Heart

● Tricuspid- 3 leaflets
● Mitral/Bicuspid- 2 leaflets
● AV- tricuspid/mitral
● SL- pulmonic/aortic
