Combined valvular disease

An acquired heart disease is a condition in which two or more valves are damaged. Mitral stenosis with aortic insufficiency is the most common. The valvular lesions can be either narrow or incompletely closed. Different types of lesions change the normal blood circulation of the heart, and there is an increase in left ventricular simple volume load, an increase in simple pressure load, or both. Causes left ventricular muscle hypertrophy and reduced compliance.
