Valvular Heart Disease: Preserving the Heart's Vital Gatekeepers

Valvular heart disease refers to conditions that affect the heart’s valves, impairing their ability to regulate blood flow properly. These conditions can involve the mitral valve, aortic valve, tricuspid valve, or pulmonary valve, and can range from mild to severe. Timely diagnosis and appropriate management are essential for preserving the heart's vital gatekeepers.

Understanding valvular disease and its symptoms is crucial for maintaining heart health:

Valvular heart disease can result from various causes, including congenital abnormalities, infection, degeneration, or age-related wear and tear.
Symptoms can include shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, palpitations, and swelling of the ankles or feet.
Diagnostic tests, such as echocardiography, electrocardiogram (ECG), and cardiac catheterisation, help assess the severity of the valve disease and guide treatment decisions.

Managing heart valve disease involves a comprehensive approach:

Medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and improve heart function.
In some cases, surgical interventions such as valve repair or replacement may be necessary to restore proper valve function.
Minimally invasive procedures, such as transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR), offer alternative treatment options for certain patients.
