The heart has four valves â the aortic, mitral, tricuspid and pulmonary valves. Like valves used in house plumbing, the heart valves open to allow fluid (blood) to be pumped forward, and they close to prevent fluid from flowing backward. Human heart valves are flaps of tissue called leaflets or cusps. Heart valve problems fall into two major categories: Stenosis â The opening of the valve is too narrow, and this interferes with the forward flow of blood. Regurgitation â The valve doesn't close properly.
