Heart Valve Center
Overview
Heart valve conditions are managed by specialized teams skilled in cardiology, cardiac surgery, and rehabilitation. These teams use advanced technology and a multidisciplinary approach to provide adequate care for heart valve diseases.
Understanding Heart Valve Disease
Heart valve disease becomes more common with age and occurs when one or more valves in the heart do not function properly. The two main types of heart valve disease are:
- Heart Valve Stenosis: Narrowing of the heart valve.
- Heart Valve Regurgitation: Leakage of the heart valve.
Early stages of the disease may show mild or no symptoms. If untreated, symptoms may worsen over time and include:
- Fatigue
- Chest tightness
- Swelling in feet or ankles
- Irregular heartbeat
- Fainting
Treatment Options
Treatment begins with a thorough medical evaluation, including a physical exam and heart tests like EKG or echocardiogram. Depending on the condition, the following options may be offered:
- Medication: To manage symptoms.
- Valve Repair: Fixing the valve through procedures like suturing or expansion.
- Valve Replacement: Replace the damaged valve with an artificial one.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: Techniques like MitraClip or Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) for severe cases without open-heart surgery.
- Open-Heart Surgery: Traditional surgical methods such as Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR) for specific conditions.
The choice of treatment depends on the severity and type of valve issue. Specialists work closely with patients to ensure the best outcomes and improve their quality of life.
