What is a Heart Valve Problem?

A heart valve problem occurs when one or more of the heart's valves, mitral, aortic, tricuspid, or pulmonary, do not open or close properly. These valves play a crucial role in ensuring smooth, one-directional blood flow through the heart. When a valve becomes narrowed (stenosis) or starts leaking (regurgitation), the heart must work harder to pump blood efficiently.

Common symptoms of heart valve disease may include:

If left untreated, severe valve disease can lead to heart failure or other serious complications. Depending on the severity, treatment may include medications, valve repair, or valve replacement surgery.
