Heart Valve Disease

Heart valve disease occurs when one or more of the heart’s valves—the mitral, aortic, tricuspid, or pulmonary valve—don’t function properly. These valves ensure blood flows in the correct direction through the heart, and when they are damaged or diseased, the heart’s efficiency can be compromised. Conditions like valve stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage) can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, or irregular heartbeat.

At AORTA, we aim to simplify the complexities of disease by providing clear and accurate information about its causes, symptoms, and treatments. From medications to surgical interventions like valve repair or replacement, understanding your options is essential for effective management. With proper care, many individuals with diseases can lead healthy and active lives.
