After brain heart is undoubtedly the most important organ in human body. It is the king of entire cardiovascular system that works round the clock. Its job is to ensure blood circulation throughout the body and provides a lifeline to all other organs. The complete cardiovascular system consists of heart, valves, blood vessels, arteries, veins and capillaries.
Heart works like a high power pumping motor and its responsibility is to take the blood to entire body via arteries and veins. There are four valves attached to the wall of heart and they regulate the blood flow by constantly opening and closing. These valves work round the clock till death without taking a break even for a second. And, they must not take a break. If valves stop functioning for any reason, it is a bad news for heart.
If any of the four valves or all valves do not function at their best or stop working at all, it poses threat to a healthy heart. Valves make sure that blood flows forward and do not flow backward. If valve does not close or open properly, it hampers controlled blood circulation and might lead to cardiac arrest or heart failure in extreme case. Heart valve disease has some visible signs like chest pain, breathing problem, weakness, loss of consciousness and restlessness.
Like any other body part, heart valves also face risk of losing strength and optimal performance due to sundry of reasons. Though valve diseases are not common, they do happen and can turn out to be life-threatening if not diagnosed and treated on time. Due to continuous functioning, valves face wear and tear and get weakened over a period of lifetime. Elderly people risk most from valve related maladies than younger people.
Heart valve disease is a global ailment and affects both men and women. However, countries like Kenya are always at the receiving end due to their poor socio-economic conditions. Kenya citizens face the highest risk of heart diseases than any other developed or developing nation. Lack of awareness and inadequate treatment facilities add woes to already troubled situation.
