What Are Common Heart Valve Conditions?

Typical heart valve conditions include valvular stenosis, where narrowed valve openings restrict blood flow, forcing the heart to work harder. Valvular regurgitation, or valve insufficiency, occurs when a valve doesn’t close properly, causing blood to leak backward and reducing heart efficiency. Heart murmurs are abnormal sounds caused by turbulent blood flow through damaged valves, which may signal an underlying problem that requires further evaluation, although some murmurs can be harmless.

Effective and Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Testing

We offer advice and recommendations for heart valve treatments and heart health assessment. Our state-of-the-art heart valve testing includes the following procedures:

Echocardiogram

This procedure uses ultrasound waves to create detailed images of the heart, evaluating its structure, function, and blood flow to identify heart or valve conditions.

Transesophageal Echocardiogram

This specialized ultrasound technique captures detailed, close-up heart valve images from inside the body, allowing a precise evaluation of their function.

Cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) Scan

This high-resolution imaging method uses X-rays from various angles to provide a comprehensive view of the heart's structure and valves.
