Conditions and Treatments
Heart valve disease disrupts the blood flow across the chambers of the heart, forcing it to work harder to do its job. Over time, this places strain on the heart and causes symptoms that can diminish quality of life and lead to serious long-term health problems, including heart failure. Thankfully, many heart valve problems can now be treated safely and effectively without open surgery.
