Doctors For Valve Stenoses & Regurgitation - Dil Ki Valve Mein Leakage In Istanbul

Heart valve disorders can affect any of your heart's valves. The flaps on your heart valves open and close with each heartbeat, allowing blood to flow through the upper and lower chambers of your heart and to the rest of your body. The atria are the upper chambers of the heart, and the ventricles are the lower chambers. The heart valves function by ensuring that blood flows forward and does not back up or leak.
 
When you have a heart valve disorder, the valve is unable to perform this function properly. This can be caused by blood leakage, known as regurgitation, or by a narrowing of the valve opening, known as stenosis, or by a combination of regurgitation and stenosis. Some people with heart valve disorders have no symptoms, while others may develop strokes, heart attacks, and blood clots if the heart valve disorder is not treated.

Treatment

Treatment for heart valve disorders is determined by the severity of the condition and the symptoms. Most doctors recommend starting with conservative treatments. These are some examples:

• following a healthy diet plan
• getting regular medical check-ups
• avoid smoking

The following medications are commonly prescribed:

• beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers, which help control heart rate and blood flow
• diuretics, which help reduce fluid retention
• vasodilators, which are drugs that open or dilate blood vessels

If your symptoms worsen, you may require surgery. This could include one of the following heart valve repairs:

• an animal valve if you have a biological valve replacement
• a donated valve from another person
• a mechanical or artificial valve
