Heart valve defects or valve vitia is the generic term in medicine for congenital or acquired functional disorders of one or more heart valves .
A heart valve defect ( Vitium cordis ) can affect any of the four heart valves, whereby the valves in the left heart ( aortic and mitral valves ) are affected significantly more frequently than those in the right heart ( pulmonary and tricuspid valves ). The functional disorder can consist of a narrowing ( stenosis ), an incapacity to work ( insufficiency ) or a combination of both ( combined vitium ).
The severity of heart valve disease can be assessed using the criteria of the NYHA classification . Mild heart valve defects do not cause any symptoms and do not require any special therapy . High-grade vitia, on the other hand, are usually symptomatic and must be treated frequently after a careful cardiological examination. Since it is hardly possible to influence it with medication, surgical therapy is usually recommended, either as a valve reconstruction or as a valve replacement . In rare cases of valve stenosis, dilation as part of a cardiac catheter treatment is possible and useful.
If necessary, patients with a heart valve defect must receive endocarditis prophylaxis to prevent bacterial infection of the heart valve ( endocarditis ) . For this purpose, an antibiotic is prescribed once or twice if bacteria are present or expected in the blood because previously damaged heart valves show a higher risk of being damaged by bacterial inflammation.
