Valvular regurgitation: What You Need to Know
Valvular regurgitation is when blood flows backward through the chambers of your heart. It can be mild and not cause symptoms, or it can be life threatening. Your heart is a muscular organ that contains four chambers. Blood flows between these chambers and your lungs in a set pattern to distribute oxygen-containing blood to every organ in your body. Your heart also contains four valves that control blood flow through its chambers. Valvular regurgitation occurs when blood moves backward through one of these valves. The severity depends largely on the amount of blood that backflows and whether or not it is causing symptoms or other problems. Minor cases might not cause symptoms, whereas more severe cases may lead to issues such as shortness of breath or heartbeat abnormalities. Read on to learn more about valvular regurgitation, including types, potential symptoms, and causes. Types of valvular regurgitation Valvular regurgitation is named after the valve through which blood backflows through. Types include: Tricuspid valve regurgitation: Your tricuspid valve is found between your right atrium and right ventricle. Tricuspid valve regurgitation is characterized by the backflow of blood into your right atrium. Pulmonary valve regurgitation: Your pulmonary valve separates your right ventricle from the blood vessels supplying your lungs. Regurgitation can cause blood to flow back into your right ventricle from these blood vessels. Mitral valve regurgitation: Your mitral valve is found between your left atrium and left ventricle. Mitral valve regurgitation is characterized by the backflow of blood into your left atrium. Aortic valve regurgitation: The aortic valve is found between your left ventricle and your aorta, the large blood vessel that carries blood away from your heart. Aortic valve regurgitation causes blood to flow back into your left ventricle from your aorta. The most common type is mitral valvular regurgitation. What are the symptoms of valvular regurgitation? Symptoms of valvular regurgitation can range from non-apparent to severe. If your condition is caused by another condition, such as heart failure, your symptoms may get progressively worse over time. Symptoms may include: irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) shortness of breath, which might be worse when lying flat new or worsening heart palpitations, which can cause heart: pounding fluttering whooshing swelling around your feet or ankles coughing feeling faint fatigue chest pain It's important to see your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Severe cases can lead to complications such as: heart failure arrhythmia (irregular heart rhythm) sudden cardiac arrest blood clots stroke pulmonary hypertension What are the causes of valvular regurgitation? Valvular regurgitation can develop due to congenital heart problems present from birth or develop secondary to other conditions affecting your heart. Tricuspid valve regurgitation: In adults, tricuspid regurgitation is usually secondary to other heart problems, such as cardiomyopathies. Cardiomyopathy is a disease of your heart muscle, and coronary artery disease is when plaque builds up in the blood vessels in your heart and restricts blood flow. Pulmonary valve regurgitation: The leading causes of pulmonary valve regurgitation in adults are pulmonary hypertension or congenital heart defects. Pulmonary hypertension is high blood pressure in the blood vessels connecting your heart and lungs. Mitral valve regurgitation: Primary mitral valve regurgitation can develop due to congenital heart defects, infections, and complications such as rheumatic heart disease, or connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome or lupus. Secondary mitral valve regurgitation can develop due to conditions such as congestive heart failure or atrial fibrillation. Aortic valve disease: The two most common causes of aortic regurgitation are dilated aorta and bicuspid aortic valve. Calcified aortic stenosis is when your aortic valve thickens and narrows due to calcium buildup. How is valvular regurgitation treated? The treatment for valvular regurgitation depends on the underlying cause and severity. Mild cases might not need any treatment, but your doctor may still want to follow up regularly to ensure your condition doesn't progress. More severe cases may require medications or surgery to prevent and manage complications and symptoms. Medications Doctors may prescribe people with valvular heart disease many types of medications, such as the following: angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers to open your blood vessels anti-arrhythmic medications to restore your heart rhythm antibiotics to prevent infections anticoagulants to reduce the risk of blood clots beta-blockers to help your heart beat slower diuretics to reduce the amount of fluid in your body vasodilators to reduce your heart's workload Surgery Severe cases of valvular regurgitation may require valve repair or valve replacement. These procedures may be performed through open-heart surgery or minimally invasive procedures, where your surgeon makes the repair or replacement through a small incision and special tools. These noninvasive procedures are catheter-based therapies. A cardiologist inserts the catheter into the blood vessels to reach the heart. Learn more about valve replacement surgery. Frequently asked questions Here are some frequently asked questions people have about valve regurgitation. What is meant by valve regurgitation? Valvular regurgitation is when a valve in your heart doesn't close completely, and blood flows backward into one of the chambers of your heart. It can also occur if blood flows back from the blood vessels leaving the heart, such as the aorta or pulmonary artery, back into the heart.

House Oversight Democrat seeks information from Trump on Elon Musk's alleged drug use
Washington — The acting top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee asked President Trump on Wednesday for information about Elon Musk's alleged drug use during the 2024 presidential campaign and whether he was consuming illicit substances while serving as a top adviser to the president in the White House. Rep. Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts, the acting ranking member of the panel, wrote in a letter to Mr. Trump that he is investigating the extent of Musk's alleged drug use and asked the president to turn over information about what he or other administration officials knew about Musk's supposed consumption while he was working as a special government employee. Musk, who helped oversee the efforts to overhaul the federal government through the White House's Department of Government Efficiency, officially ended his tenure working in the federal government last Friday. But the president said that Musk "is not really leaving," and the billionaire said he would remain a "friend and adviser" to Mr. Trump. As a special government employee, Musk was limited to 130 days in a 365-day period, according to federal law. "The drastic and erratic nature of Mr. Musk's decisions and actions as a government employee, coupled with the reports of his drug use, begs the question of whether Mr. Musk was under the influence of illicit substances while working in your White House," Lynch wrote. "The American people deserve to know whether Mr. Musk was under the influence while he gleefully took a 'chainsaw' to our federal government." The letter from the Massachusetts Democrat comes on the heels of a New York Times report published last week that alleged Musk used the drug ketamine as often as once a day during the 2024 campaign. According to the Times, Musk told people he was taking so much ketamine — which can be used recreationally and for medical purposes — that it was affecting his bladder. In addition to ketamine, Musk allegedly took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, the Times reported. The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX wrote on social media on Saturday that he "tried *prescription* ketamine a few years ago" adding it "helps for getting out of dark mental holes, but haven't taken it since then." He also accused the Times of "lying their ass off." The Times responded that the newspaper had "provided Musk with multiple opportunities to reply or rebut this reporting before publication and he declined, opting instead to try to distract with a social post and no evidence." When asked about the claims of chronic drug use during an event with Mr. Trump in the Oval Office on Friday, Musk rebuffed the question and attacked the Times. "The New York Times? Is that the same publication that got a Pulitzer Prize for false reporting on the Russiagate?" Musk asked. "Let's move on." Musk addressed his ketamine use during an interview with journalist Don Lemon last year and said he was taking a "small amount once every other week." He added that "if you use too much ketamine, you can't really get work done … and I have a lot of work." But the Wall Street Journal reported in January 2024 that some executives and board members at his companies became concerned with his use of drugs and the potential consequences for his health and the businesses he oversees. Musk in February said on social media that he has had a top secret security clearance "for many years." Drug tests to screen for illegal drug use are typically part of the security clearance process, according to the Defense Intelligence Agency. In his letter to Mr. Trump, Lynch said the president's potential knowledge of any drug use by Musk while he worked in the White House "deserves scrutiny." "Given his prominent role in the Trump administration, the American people deserve to know the history and extent of Mr. Musk's drug use and any influence illicit drugs may have had on his efforts to illegally and recklessly dismantle our government," he wrote. "If Mr. Musk is struggling with substance abuse, it is my hope that he gets the assistance and treatment he needs." In addition to seeking information about whether Musk used illegal drugs during his stint in the administration, Lynch also asked whether the billionaire consumed illicit substances on the White House campus or in federal buildings, and what Mr. Trump or his campaign knew about Musk's alleged drug use during the 2024 campaign. Musk was brought on as a special government employee to help with Mr. Trump's initiative aimed at drastically scaling back the size of the federal government. While working as a senior adviser to the president, Musk attended Cabinet meetings and traveled with the president. The cost-cutting efforts undertaken by DOGE, which Mr. Trump has said Musk led, included plans to lay off thousands of federal workers, the dismantling of federal agencies like the U.S. Agency for International Development and the termination of federal grants, contracts and leases. Many of DOGE's actions, as well as Musk's role with the administration, have been challenged in the federal courts. The Supreme Court is weighing a request to allow the administration's sweeping layoffs of federal employees, while a federal district court in Maryland found Musk and DOGE's shutdown of USAID was likely unconstitutional. The Justice Department has appealed that decision. A federal judge in Washington has also allowed a challenge to Musk's actions to proceed.
