Heart Valve Disease If one or more heart valves are not functioning correctly, it can cause blood to flow backward, putting extra pressure on the heart, which may cause it to expand to compensate for the inefficiency. Beta-blockers , which slow the heart rate and reduce blood pressure. Anticoagulants to prevent blood clots.
