There are a variety of ways of evaluating a studentâs progress and achievement in the internship. These include an evaluation of work by the on-site supervisor, a studentâs self-evaluation, a visit to the work site by the faculty sponsor, and specific academic requirements fulfilled by the student.
Regurgitation/Insufficiency (leaky valve) - the valve does not close properly and allows blood to flow backward as well as forward in the heart. The valves in your heart may be damaged due to infection, rheumatic heart disease, wear and tear, tissue weakening or deterioration, or birth (congenital) defects.egurgitation/Insufficiency (leaky valve) - the valve does not close properly and allows blood to flow backward as well as forward in the heart.

The risk of heart failure also was lower -- a 7 percent risk for those with early surgery versus 23 percent for those placed on observation. The mitral valve leak is doing damage to the heart even if patients aren't showing typical symptoms such as fatigue or shortness of breath, Suri said. The leak forces the heart to pump harder to circulate blood throughout the body, setting the stage for heart disease and high blood pressure.
