🔬 Phase 2: 💊 Initial Medical Therapy
- Medicines may be prescribed to relieve symptoms

Helping you understand Our healthcare
Valvular heart disease occurs when one or more of the heart’s valves don’t open or close properly. This can affect blood flow and make the heart work harder than normal.
Stenosis – the valve is too narrow and doesn’t open fully
Regurgitation – the valve doesn’t close properly, causing blood to leak backward
Prolapse – valve flaps bulge or slip out of place
Shortness of breath
Tiredness or fatigue
Chest pain or pressure
Swelling in the legs or ankles
Irregular heartbeat or dizziness
Usually every 6–12 months, or more frequently if your condition is changing. Regular checkups and echocardiograms help monitor your heart valve function.
Not always. But if symptoms become severe or the valve damage worsens, surgery (valve repair or replacement) may be the best option. Your doctor will guide you on timing and treatment.
