Heart valve diseases
occur when one or more valves in the heart fail to function properly,
disrupting normal blood flow. The mitral valve, located between the left atrium
and left ventricle, can develop conditions such as mitral stenosis
(narrowing) or mitral regurgitation (leakage). These issues often
lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and irregular heartbeat.
Similarly, the aortic valve, which controls blood flow from the heart to the
body, may suffer from aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation.
Aortic valve disease can
cause chest pain, dizziness, and even heart failure if untreated. Both
conditions may arise from congenital defects, infections, or age-related
degeneration. Diagnosis typically involves echocardiography, while
treatment ranges from medications to surgical interventions like valve repair
or replacement. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent
complications and improve quality of life.
