Heart Basics
The right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium, and right ventricle.
What are the four chambers of the heart?
Untreated heart valve insufficiencies cause the heart to pump harder to move the same amount of blood.
What is heart failure?
120/80 mmHg is considered a normal measurement.
What is blood pressure?

What is a normal heart sound?
Right atrium -> right ventricle ->Pulmonary Artery-> Lungs -> Left Atrium -> left ventricle ->Aorta ->Body
What is the path blood takes throughout the body?
Your risk for this disease can be increased if you’ve had rheumatic fever or high BP
Aortic Valve Insufficiency
High blood pressure in the lungs can lead to this term meaning fluid build-up.
What is congestion?
This is the whooshing or swishing sound made by blood leaking in the heart during a heartbeat.
What is a heart murmur?
The term used to describe leaking heart valves.
What is regurgitation?
A heart attack or a birth defect can increase your likelihood of developing this disease.
What is Mitral Valve Insufficiency?
Decreased blood pressure and heart inefficiency is associated with this heart disease.
What is Aortic Valve Insufficiency?
VIDEO
What is aortic Valve Insufficiency?
This valve controls the flow of blood between the left atrium and the left ventricle.
What is the mitral valve?
In aortic valve insufficiency, blood flows backwards into the heart instead of pumping out
What is an aortic valve leak?
This disease is associated with high blood pressure in the lungs.
What is Mitral Valve Insufficiency?
This is the best class in the animal science department
