Dr. Aklog explains what valve regurgitation is.
Dr. Aklog:
Regurgitation is a fancy medical term for a valve that leaks, a valve that doesn’t close properly and prevents, and it allows the blood to go backwards through the valve, and what happens typically there is that because the blood is going backwards, part of the blood is going backwards, the heart has to work extra hard in order to accommodate that extra flow, and symptoms can result from that.
