Valvular disease

Valvular disease can happen when any of the four heart valves are damaged or diseased, which can result in blood flowing back into the heart.

In this video Dr Sam Boateng from the School of Biological Sciences at University of Reading discusses valvular disease building on what we learnt about the anatomy and function of the heart in Week 1.
