Brief Answer:
Please specify heart valve that is having problem.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there my dear,

There are 4 valves in the heart:
1. mitral valve (blood flowing from left atrium to left ventricle)
2. tricuspid valve (blood flowing from right atrium to right ventricle)
3. pulmonic valve (blood flowing from right ventricle to pulmonary artery)
4. aortic valve (blood flowing from left ventricle to aorta)

Can you please specify what type of your heart valve is having problems?

Thank you!
Dr.Albana
