Can damage to your heart valves cause seizures?

Answer by  GVlad (104)

Indirectly a damaged heart valve could cause seisures. If the valve problem is associated with atrial fibrilation then clots could form in the atrium. Those clots could then be dislodged and could travel up the arteries into the brain causing a cerebral ischemic attack. Please see a doctor about this!

It sounds possible, though you'd need a physician to know for sure. I've heard of damaged valves not pumping enough blood to the brain when strained, which can cause a seizure. I've also heard of nerve damage causing a 'negative feedback' through the vegas nerve to the brain.
