Valvular Heart Defects Pathophysiology Diagram

The document provides diagrams showing the pathophysiology of different types of valvular defects: 1) Mitral valve prolapse and mitral regurgitation involve issues with the mitral valve leaflets that allow blood to backflow from the left ventricle to the left atrium. 2) Mitral stenosis involves a narrowed mitral valve opening, restricting blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. 3) Aortic regurgitation and stenosis also involve backflow or restricted blood flow respectively, putting strain on the left ventricle and leading to issues like enlarged heart chambers. 4) The pathophysiological progression can involve backward heart failure putting strain on
