Led by medical students, this lecture will explore the structure and function of the heart valves, the types of valvular diseases, and how these conditions affect overall heart health. High school participants will learn about common types of valvular heart disease, including aortic stenosis, mitral valve regurgitation, and pulmonary valve disease, and the critical role these valves play in ensuring proper blood flow. The session will cover the symptoms, risk factors, and diagnostic tools used to identify valvular heart disease, with a focus on imaging techniques, such as echocardiograms and MRIs, that help doctors assess valve function.
