What is Heart Valve Disease?

The heart has four valves ensuring one-directional blood flow. Heart valve disease occurs when any valve develops stenosis (fails to open fully) or regurgitation (fails to close fully).

Stenosis

Mitral stenosis: Usually after rheumatic fever. Causes breathlessness and palpitations.
Aortic stenosis: Age-related calcification or bicuspid valve. Causes chest pain, syncope and heart failure.

Regurgitation

May be asymptomatic for years; when it progresses causes fatigue, breathlessness and palpitations.

Treatment

Mild cases are monitored. Advanced cases require valve repair or replacement (including TAVI).

Other Diagnoses

Aortic Disease

Pathological conditions affecting the aorta including aneurysm and dissection. Early diagnosis and monitoring are critical.

Hyperlipidemia

A metabolic disorder characterized by elevated blood lipid levels. One of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

Aortic Insufficiency

Incomplete closure of the aortic valve causing blood to leak back into the left ventricle. Usually asymptomatic early on.

Heart Rhythm Disorder (Arrhythmia)

Abnormality in the cardiac electrical system causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow or irregularly. Ranges from benign palpitations to life-threatening arrhythmias.
