I don’t know about you, but I am a very visual person. For some reason, diagrams, pictures, illustrations always help me better understand concepts. As a result, I could really relate to Wendy’s question about heart valve replacement diagrams.<\/p>\n

Wendy writes, “Hi Adam – I’m 59 and preparing for mitral valve replacement<\/a>. Everybody keeps talking to me about what is going to happen but I still don’t understand it completely. Do you have a picture that could help me understand where the valve will go in my heart? Thank you, Wendy”<\/p>\n

No problem Wendy! To support you and others, I just came across this great diagram which illustrates where the heart valve replacement device will be positioned in your heart.<\/p>\n

  <\/p>\n

\"Heart<\/div>\n

  <\/p>\n

As you can see above, this diagram shows two valvular disorders – aortic valve regurgitation and mitral valve regurgitation. The picture also shows the two types of valve replacement devices that can be used within your heart (mechanical valves and biological valves).<\/p>\n

I hope this helps!<\/p>\n

Keep on tickin!
