Patient was educated on the right heart and the valves on right heart as follows:

  1. Right heart receives deoxygenated blood from the entire body through two major veins, superior and inferior vena cava, into the right atrium.
  2. This deoxygenated blood from the right atrium will be pumped into the right ventricle through a valve (right atrioventricular valve, also called tricuspid valve).
  3. As soon as, the blood moves from the right atrium into the right ventricle, the valve between these chambers will close to prevent any reverse flow from the right ventricle into the atrium.
  4. The deoxygenated blood from right ventricle is pumped into the pulmonary artery, through a valve, pulmonic valve, which allows flow only from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery, which carries the blood to the lungs, where this blood is oxygenated.
  5. As soon as, the blood moves from the right ventricle into the pulmonary artery, the pulmonic valve will close to prevent any reverse flow, from the pulmonary artery back into the right ventricle.
