Understanding Heart Valve Disease: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Advances
Heart valve disease manifests differently in India and Western countries, with rheumatic heart disease affecting younger populations in India, especially women. Symptoms like breathlessness and fatigue often appear late, complicating early diagnosis. Advances such as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) offer less invasive treatment options for aortic valve issues, primarily in older patients. Experts emphasize the importance of recognizing symptoms early and seeking medical evaluation to manage valve diseases effectively and improve outcomes.
