Each heart valve has two important functions: To open correctly so that blood can empty from the chamber. To close properly so that blood cannot flow the wrong way. When the valves and chambers fail to move blood properly, symptoms may eventually develop and may require critically important treatment. Learn more about the roles of your heart valves.
The heart consists of 4 chambers, 2 atria (upper chambers) and 2 ventricles (lower chambers). Blood passes through a valve before leaving each chamber of the heart. The valves prevent the backward flow of blood. Valves are actually flaps (leaflets) that act as one-way inlets for blood coming into a ventricle and one-way outlets for blood leaving a ventricle.
