The heart cannot pump blood as efficiently, causing shortness of breath and low energy. In older patients it may aggravate dementia by reducing the flow of oxygen to the brain.

The valve on the aorta (the vessel taking blood away from the heart) is called the "aortic valve".
Does the valve prevent blood to get in the heart?
Yes and no. When a valve is open, it is allowingblood to enter the heart's chambers. When a valve is closed, it is preventing blood from entering a chamber.
What is a heart valve?
a 1 way valve in the heart that prevents blood from going backwards when the heart contracts
What is the function of the aortic valve?
The aortic valve functions as a one-way valve between the heart and the rest of the body. Blood is pumped from the left ventricle of the heart, through the valve, and down the aorta, which in turn supplies blood to all of the organs in the body. Between heart contractions, the valve closes, preventing blood from flowing backwards into the heart. The function of the aortic valve is then twofold: (1) It provides a route for which blood can leave the heart, and (2) It prevents blood that has already left the heart from leaking backwards into the heart.
What is a leaky valve that allows backflow of blood?
An incompetent valve allows backflow of blood.
What do heart valves do in general?
A heart valve stops the flow of blood backwards when the heart muscle pulses. Without the valve there would be no direction to the flow of the blood.
What happens in the right ventricle of the heart?
The right ventricle is one of four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) in the human heart. It receives deoxygenated blood from the right atrium via the tricuspid valve, and pumps it into the pulmonary artery via the pulmonary valve and pulmonary trunk. (source Wikipedia)it pulmbs blood to the heart or it carries blood to the whole part of the heart
What regulates the flow of blood through the heart?
Once blood enters the heart it's flow is regulated by the bicuspid and tricuspid valve which connects the atriums to the ventricles.
What is blood flow from tricuspid valve from feet?
The Tricuspid valve is in the heart, not the feet
What is the definition of valve?
Heart valves: There are four heart valves. All are one-way valves. Blood entering the heart first passes through the tricuspid valve and then the pulmonary valve. After returning from the lungs, the blood passes through the mitral (bicuspid) valve and exits via the aortic valve.
