Faulty Heart Valves
There is a total of four valves in the heart. They are responsible for keeping the right direction of blood flow. Because of a heart defect, one or more heart valves can be faulty and are unable to close or open properly. This leads to some abnormal activities that affect the functions of your cardiovascular system. Your heart has to pump harder to ensure normal transport of blood to important body parts. This extra pressure would weaken muscles and result in heart failure in the long run. If detected early, faulty heart valves can be treated effectively. [3]
