Key Points

This work aims to elucidate the pathologic aspects of aortic and mitral valve insufficiencies, highlighting their associations.
Focus on aortic and mitral insufficiency based on their prevalence and complications.
Discuss underlying physiological factors related to diastolic pressure and systemic flow.
Review connections with pulmonary hypertension and rheumatic diseases.
Aortic and mitral insufficiencies are more common than pulmonary or tricuspid valve problems.
Pulmonary insufficiency is typically a complication of pulmonary hypertension rather than a primary issue.
Tricuspid insufficiency is often linked with significant rheumatic disease affecting other valves.
