When Heart Valves Don’t Work Correctly
With heart valve disease, one or more of the valves in your heart doesn’t work correctly. Your heart has four valves that open and close to keep blood flowing in the correct direction- when these valves are not working correctly, health concerns may arise. The type of treatment needed and deciding the appropriate next steps depend on the heart valve affected and the severity of the disease.
