  1. valvular incompetence

    Valvular incompetence, also known as valvular insufficiency or regurgitation, is a condition where the valves in the heart, veins, or arteries do not function properly, resulting in inadequate closure. This leads to backflow or leakage of blood, which further impedes the efficient flow of blood throughout the body, causing the heart to pump harder to compensate for the leak. Valvular incompetence can occur in any of the heart's four valves and can result from various causes, such as damage from heart disease or infection.
