When Is It Needed?
Valve Stenosis
Narrowed heart valves reduce blood flow, causing fatigue and shortness of breath. Timely repair or replacement restores normal circulation.
Valve Regurgitation
Leaky heart valves allow backward blood flow, straining the heart. Repair or replacement prevents heart failure and improves function.
Congenital Defects
Some patients are born with valve abnormalities. Early diagnosis and surgical correction help maintain healthy heart function and overall wellness.
Chest Pain
Persistent chest discomfort may indicate valve malfunction. Early evaluation and valve repair or replacement reduce symptoms and heart complications.
Breathlessness
Shortness of breath during activity or rest can signal valve problems. Timely treatment improves oxygen flow and daily life quality.
Fatigue & Palpitations
Unexplained tiredness or irregular heartbeat may indicate valve disease. Proper surgical intervention restores rhythm and energy levels.
Advanced Heart Treatments
Procedure and Process Treatment
