These valves—the aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary—ensure blood flows in the correct direction through the heart by opening and closing with each heartbeat. When a valve is damaged, it can either fail to open properly (stenosis) or fail to close completely (regurgitation or insufficiency), disrupting normal blood flow.
Causes of läppävaurio are varied. Congenital heart defects present at birth can affect valve structure. Rheumatic
Symptoms depend on the severity and type of valve damage. Mild läppävaurio may be asymptomatic. More significant
