Reply:"Bleeding into the lungs," does not sound like a heart valve problem.
Reply:a faulty plumonary valve can cause serious problems because it can mean that all of your blood is not being oxygenated properly and can reduce the amount of oxygenated blood getting to the brain and vital organs. It usually will require surgery to replace the valve.

Reply:Gate valve A valve with a disk-shaped closing element that fits tightly over an opening through which water passes.


A Gate Valve, or Sluice Valve, as it is sometimes known, is a valve that opens by lifting a round or rectangular gate/wedge out of the path of the fluid. The distinct feature of a gate valve is the sealing surfaces between the gate and seats are planar. The gate faces can form a wedge shape or they can be parallel. Gate Valves are sometimes used for regulating flow, but many are not suited for that purpose, having been designed to be fully opened or closed. When fully open, the typical gate valve has no obstruction in the flow path, resulting in very low friction loss.
