Heart Valve Disease Treatment in Bangalore
Heart valve disease occurs when one or more
of the heart's valves do not function properly, disrupting
normal blood flow through the heart. This can lead to symptoms
like fatigue, chest pain, breathlessness, or even heart
failure if left untreated. At our cardiac care center in
Bangalore, we specialize in early detection, advanced
diagnostics, and comprehensive treatment for all types of
valve disorders.
"Timely treatment of heart valve disease can restore normal
heart function and dramatically improve a patient's quality
of life and longevity."
Dr. Basavaraj Utagi, a leading interventional
cardiologist in Bangalore, offers expert care for patients
with valve problems including stenosis (narrowing),
regurgitation (leakage), and congenital defects. Our center
provides both medical and interventional options including
balloon valvuloplasty, surgical repair, and TAVI
(Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation).
Types of Heart Valve Disease
-
Aortic Valve Disease: Includes aortic
stenosis and aortic regurgitation — affecting blood flow
from the heart to the body.
-
Mitral Valve Disease: Involves mitral
stenosis or mitral regurgitation, commonly causing
fatigue and shortness of breath.
-
Tricuspid & Pulmonary Valve Issues:
Less common but important in cases of congenital or
secondary heart problems.
-
Mixed Valve Disease: More than one
valve is affected, often requiring complex intervention.
Symptoms of Heart Valve Disease
Common Warning Signs
- Shortness of breath during activity or at rest
- Chest pain or pressure
- Swelling in ankles or legs
- Palpitations or irregular heartbeat
- Dizziness or fainting spells
- Fatigue or reduced exercise capacity
When to See a Cardiologist
If you experience any of these symptoms or have a known
heart murmur or previous valve condition, consult a
heart specialist promptly for assessment and treatment
planning.
Diagnosis & Treatment Options
-
2D Echocardiogram: Primary imaging to
assess valve structure, function, and severity of
disease.
-
Transesophageal ECHO (TEE): Provides
more detailed images for pre-surgical or procedural
planning.
-
Balloon Valvuloplasty: A catheter-based
procedure to open narrowed valves, often used for mitral
or pulmonary stenosis.
-
Valve Repair or Replacement: Surgical
or transcatheter methods depending on the valve involved
and severity.
-
TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve
Implantation):
A minimally invasive aortic valve replacement option for
high-risk surgical patients.
