Valvular heart disease refers to abnormalities in heart valves that affect valve function. The incidence increases with age and includes conditions like mitral regurgitation and aortic stenosis. Symptoms of valvular disease include shortness of breath and decreased exercise tolerance. Treatment methods for these conditions have evolved from open heart surgery to minimally invasive procedures like transcatheter valve repair or replacement. They are performed in specialized cardiac catheterization labs by skilled physicians to ensure patient safety. The MitraClip™ and TAVR are examples of two innovative treatment strategies that are used and have been shown to improve patient outcomes and symptoms.
