| mitral valvotomy | Deliberate incision or enlargement by inserting a finger in the mitral valve due to mitral stenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ischemic mitral regurgitation | A regurgitation of the mitral valve caused by ischemic heart disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fish-mouth mitral stenosis | Extreme mitral stenosis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| abnormal cleavage of cardiac valve | Congenital malformation of a valve leaflet with a defect extending from the free margin. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Amussat's valve | A series of crescentic folds of mucous membrane in the upper part of the cystic duct, arranged in a somewhat spiral manner. Synonym: plica spiralis ductus cystici, Amussat's valve, Heister's valve, spiral valve of cystic duct, valvula spiralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cusp of atrioventricular valve | The anterior leaflet or valvule of either the tricuspid or mitral valves. Synonym: cuspis anterior valvae atrioventricularis dextrae/sinistrae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior urethral valve | A crescentic horizontal fold in the proximal spongy urethra. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aortic valve | The heart valve that divides the left ventricle and the aorta. The aortic valve opens during left ventricular contraction and then closes to prohibit the backwash of oxygenated blood from the aorta into the ventricle. The aortic valve has 3 valve cusps. (27 Sep 1997) |
| aortic valve insufficiency | Backflow of blood from the aorta into the left ventricle, owing to imperfect functioning of the aortic semilunar valve. (12 Dec 1998) |
| aortic valve stenosis | Narrowing of the orifice of the aortic valve or of the supravalular or subvalvular regions. (12 Dec 1998) |
| artificial heart valve | <cardiology> A synthetic or porcine (pigskin) valve surgically placed into the heart to replace a defective or malfunctioning valve. The aortic and mitral valves are the most frequently replaced with artificial valves. (27 Sep 1997) |
| ball valve | Any of a variety of prosthetic cardiac valve's comprised of a ball within a retaining cage affixed to the orifice; when appropriately sized, used in aortic, mitral, or tricuspid position. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ball valve action | The intermittent blockage of a tube or outlet of a cavity by some object or material that permits passage in one direction but not in the other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ball-valve thrombus | Ball thrombus intermittently occluding the mitral or tricuspid orifice. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mitral valve prolapse |
The mitral valve is the only valve with two flaps. It separates the left atrium and the left ventricle. Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) occurs when one or both of the flaps gets enlarged. The valve then doesn't close correctly and some blood leaks backwards.

| mitral valve prolapse s. |
prolapse of the mitral valve, often with regurgitation, associated with myxomatous proliferation of the leaflets of the mitral valve, a common, usually benign, often asymptomatic condition characterized by midsystolic clicks and late systolic murmurs on auscultation. Palpitations and chest discomfort may occur, and in some cases progressive mitral regurgitation necessitates valve replacement. Called also Barlow's s., click-murmur s., floppy valve s., MVP s., and systolic click–murmur s.

| mitral valve prolapse |
a condition in which the flaps of the mitral valve are too large and cannot close properly causing blood to leak back through the valve (regurgitation) when it should only flow forward.
