    Stress Testing a.k.a treadmill tests
    Chest X-rays
    Echocardiogram     to evaluate heart function
    Cardiac catheterization measures pressure across the valves]]>     2018-04-09 13:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249771626     Treatment isabellagert https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249774368 No smoking

    Balloon Dilatation     a small balloon is inserted into blood vessel to the valve where it inflates
    Valve Surgery repair or replace damaged valves]]>     2018-04-09 13:11:02 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249774368     Prognosis isabellagert https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249777355 Normally occurs in patients over the age of 65. 
    A minor malfunction of this disease may be called aortic stenosis.
    Disease worsens if left untreated]]>     2018-04-09 13:16:05 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249777355     Valvular Disease ECG isabellagert https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249792542 2018-04-09 13:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249792542 Normal ECG isabellagert https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249793726 2018-04-09 13:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249793726 Valvular Heart Disease isabellagert https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249794858 2018-04-09 13:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/249794858 Oxygen Levels isabellagert https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/250240900 Oxygen is diffused into the lungs and then forced through the walls of the lungs to reach the red blood cells in the veins. The heart continually pumps the oxygen rich blood cells to the rest of the body and the deoxygenated blood back to the lungs where the process will start over.]]> 2018-04-10 13:01:04 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/250240900 How the Disease Affects Heart Function: isabellagert https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/250252923 Normal functioning valves ensure that blood flows with proper force in the proper direction at the proper time. 
    In Valvular Heart Disease, the valves become to narrow and hardened to open fully, or are unable to close completely. To compensate for poor pumping action, the heart enlarges and thickens thereby losing elasticity and efficiency. Blood chambers in the heart may clot, increasing the risk of stroke or pulmonary embolism.]]>     2018-04-10 13:22:51 UTC https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/250252923     Heart Disease isabellagert https://padlet.com/isabellagert/56oj40ean0wo/wish/250264305 Refers to many conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain or stroke.
