Stenosis of Mitral valve: Damaged valve blocks flow of blood to left ventricle and there is buildup of blood in the lungs. So patient experiences weakness due to less blood to body and breathlessness due to accumulation of blood in lungs 

Mitral valve regurgitation: Leakage of mitral valve leads to enlargement of heart chambers. Patient experiences fast heart beat, often irregular along with breathlessness and tiredness. 

Stenosis of the aortic valve: Stenosis involves the narrowing or obstruction of the aortic valve, which makes it is more difficult for the heart to pump blood into the aorta. Typically patient experience chest pain on doing work with episodes of loss of consciousness in advanced stages. 

Aortic valve regurgitation: This happens when one-way direction of blood from the ventricle to the aorta is disturbed and blood flows backward through the aortic valve into the left ventricle. Patient experiences difficulty in lying down and feel breathless on exertion.
