Heart Valve Surgeries: Restoring Function and Improving Cardiac Health

Subang Jaya Medical Centre's Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Department specialises in heart valve surgeries to address various heart valve conditions and restore proper cardiac function. Heart valve surgeries are performed to repair or replace damaged or malfunctioning heart valves, enabling optimal blood flow and improving overall cardiac health.

Heart Valve Surgeries

The type of heart valve surgery recommended depends on the specific valve condition, severity, and the patient's overall health. The two main approaches for heart valve surgeries are:

1. Valve Repair:

The damaged heart valve can be repaired in certain cases, preserving the natural valve tissue and structure. Our experienced cardiothoracic surgeons utilise advanced techniques to repair valve abnormalities, such as valve leaflet repair, annuloplasty (repairing the valve ring), or chordal reconstruction.

2. Valve Replacement:

When the heart valve is severely damaged and cannot be repaired, valve replacement may be necessary. This involves removing the damaged valve and replacing it with a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve (made from animal or human tissue). The choice of valve depends on several factors, including the patient's age, lifestyle, and preference.

The key aspects of Heart Valve Surgeries include:

1. Restoring Valve Function: Heart valve surgeries aim to restore normal valve function, allowing for efficient blood flow and reducing symptoms associated with valve disorders, such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue.

2. Tailored Treatment: Each patient's valve condition is carefully evaluated, and the treatment plan is customised to their specific needs. Our cardiothoracic surgeons work closely with patients to determine the most appropriate surgical approach for their unique circumstances.

3. Enhancing Quality of Life: Heart valve surgeries significantly improve patient’s quality of life by alleviating symptoms, preventing further deterioration of heart function, and promoting long-term cardiac health.

If you have been diagnosed with a heart valve condition or are experiencing symptoms such as heart murmurs, chest discomfort, or shortness of breath, we can provide comprehensive evaluation and personalised treatment plans to address your cardiac concerns and improve your overall cardiovascular health.
