What it is<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

\n Heart valve disease occurs when one or more heart valves do not open or close properly.
\n This may cause blood to flow backward (regurgitation) or restrict forward flow (stenosis),
\n leading to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, or heart failure.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Our treatment<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

\n Treatment is determined by the affected valve and the type of valve problem, such as regurgitation or stenosis.\n <\/p>\n
