The study found that 24 percent of the patients had been misdiagnosed: 22 patients previously diagnosed with epilepsy were found to have nonepileptic seizures, and four patients previously diagnosed with nonepileptic seizures were found to have epileptic seizures.
The purpose of valves is to prevent back flow of blood. In other words, it ensures that blood flows only in one direction . An atrioventricular (AV) valve is a valve located in the heart between the atria and the ventricles. In the right side of the heart, the AV valve is called the tricuspid valve . On the left side of the heart, the AV valve is called the mitral valve .
The four main valves in the heart are: 1  The two atrioventricular (AV) valves, the mitral valve (bicuspid valve), and the tricuspid valve, which are between the upper chambers (atria) and the lower chambers (ventricles). 2  The two semilunar (SL) valves, the aortic valve and the pulmonary valve, which are in the arteries leaving the heart. The mitral valve and the aortic valve are in the left heart; the tricuspid valve and the pulmonary valve are in the right heart. There are also the coronary sinus and the inferior vena cava valves.
