Why does the heart has valves?

Valves are the "doors" which allow the proper amount of blood into each ventricle of the heart so it does not "explode" or push too much into the body. When high blood pressure occurs the culprit can be a defective valve that is leaking or failing to open and close properly. Not many people have that type of high blood pressure. There are many types of high blood pressure which doctors can determine by listening to the valves in the heart or elsewhere.
