Valvular Heart Disease
Valvular heart disease is a condition wherein one or more of the heart valves is damaged, causing blood to flow in the wrong direction or at an incorrect pressure. This can lead to a range of symptoms such as fainting, chest pain, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Valvular heart disease can have a range of causes, including age-related wear and tear, some infections, and diseases like rheumatic fever. Treatment for this condition may include medications, lifestyle changes, and surgery. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for the best possible outcome and prognosis.
