... Valvular pulmonary stenosis means that the leaflets, or "flaps," of the pulmonary valve are abnormal.

When the valve leaflets close, they often leak, allowing some blood to ...

Mitral insufficiency



Mitral insufficiency (MI), mitral regurgitation or mitral incompetence is a disorder of the heart in which the mitral valve does not close properly when the heart pumps out blood. It is the abnormal leaking of blood backwards from the left ventricle, through the mitral valve, into the left atrium, when the left ventricle contracts, i.e. there is regurgitation of blood back into the left atrium. MI is the most common form of valvular heart disease.
