The human heart is one of the most crucial organs in the human body, providing a continuous blood circulation via the cardiac cycle. It is divided into four chambers which are separated by valves. Diseases, age-related factors and congenital defects are endangering the normal functions of both, the heart and its valves, leading to serious health consequences and even death. Recently, a new type of artificial heart valve, designed for people who aren t healthy enough to undergo a more invasive open-heart surgery, is rising concerns amongst US FDA officials about its effectiveness and benefits. Learn more about the artificial heart valve and its subtypes in this book.
