The aortic valve is one of the four primary valves in the human heart, located between the left ventricle and the aorta. Its main function is to regulate blood flow from the heart into the aorta, ensuring that oxygen-rich blood is properly delivered to the rest of the body. The valve consists of three cusps (flaps) that open and close in response to pressure changes during the cardiac cycle.
During ventricular contraction (systole), the aortic valve opens to allow blood to flow out of the heart. When the left ventricle relaxes (diastole), the valve closes to prevent the backflow of blood into the heart. Proper functioning of the aortic valve is crucial for maintaining efficient circulation and blood pressure.
Aortic valve disorders, such as stenosis (narrowing of the valve) or regurgitation (leakage), can lead to significant cardiovascular problems. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Treatment options can range from medical management to surgical interventions, such as valve repair or replacement, depending on the severity of the condition.
