Valvular heart disease
Valvular heart diseases, or cardiac valvulopathies, describe any acquired or congenital disease affecting one or more of the four cardiac valves.
This is a general index article that classifies cardiac valvulopathies depending on which valve(s) is affected . See individual articles for in-depth discussions.
Classification
Aortic valvulopathies
- general pathologies:
- aortic valve stenosis (and aortic valve sclerosis)
- aortic valve regurgitation
- specific pathologies:
- aortic valve atresia
- aortic valve prolapse
- bicuspid aortic valve
- congenital aortic valve stenosis
- quadricuspid aortic valve
- unicuspid aortic valve
Mitral valvulopathies
- general pathologies:
- specific pathologies:
- congenital mitral valve stenosis
- cor triatriatum
- mitral annular calcification
- mitral valve atresia
- mitral valve prolapse
- parachute mitral valve
Tricuspid valvulopathies
- general pathologies:
- specific pathologies:
- congenital tricuspid valve stenosis
- Ebstein anomaly
- tricuspid valve atresia
Pulmonary valvulopathies
- general pathologies:
- specific pathologies:
Multiple and mixed valvulopathies
- any severe individual cardiac valvulopathy
- congenital or genetic pathologies:
- alkaptonuria
- aneuploidies (e.g. Down syndrome)
- congenital polyvalvular disease
- congenital rubella syndrome
- connective tissue disorders (e.g. Marfan syndrome)
- Fabry disease
- hypoplastic left heart syndrome
- hypoplastic right heart syndrome
- Shone complex
- acquired pathologies:
