What is Valve Replacement Surgery?
What is Valve Replacement Surgery?
- Mechanical Valve: Made of durable materials and typically lasts a lifetime. Requires lifelong blood thinners.
- Biological Valve: Made from animal tissue (porcine or bovine) or human tissue. Usually needs replacement after 10-15 years.
Causes and Risk Factors for Heart Valve Disease
- Age-related degeneration and calcification
- Congenital heart defects present at birth
- Rheumatic fever from untreated infections
- Infective endocarditis (infection of the heart lining)
- Heart attacks that damage valve structures
- Radiation therapy to the chest
- Connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome
- Aging
- Family history of valve disease
- High blood pressure and cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Smoking and sedentary lifestyle
At SGVP Holistic Hospital, we perform thorough evaluations to understand the root cause before determining the need for valve replacement.
Symptoms of Valve Disease
Symptoms of Valve Disease
In advanced cases, valve dysfunction can lead to complications such as heart failure, stroke, or life-threatening arrhythmias. At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our cardiologists assess these symptoms through thorough clinical evaluations and advanced diagnostic tests to determine if valve replacement surgery is necessary.
- Shortness of breath, especially during physical activity or when lying flat
- Fatigue or weakness, even with minimal effort
- Chest pain or tightness, particularly during exertion
- Heart palpitations or the feeling of a rapid, fluttering heartbeat
- Swelling in the ankles, legs, or abdomen, due to fluid retention
- Dizziness or fainting, especially during movement or exercise
- Irregular heartbeat or heart murmur detected during a routine exam
- Reduced exercise capacity or difficulty completing daily tasks
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, consult our heart specialists in Ahmedabad for early diagnosis and expert care. SGVP Holistic Hospital cardiologists closely evaluate these signs to decide if valve replacement is necessary.
Diagnosis of Heart Valve Replacement
Accurate diagnosis is essential to determine the type and severity of heart valve disease and to plan the most effective treatment. At SGVP Holistic Hospital in Ahmedabad, we use advanced cardiac imaging and a multidisciplinary approach to ensure early and precise detection of valve disorders.
- Echocardiogram: The primary test to assess valve structure and function
- Transesophageal Echocardiogram (TEE): A detailed internal scan through the esophagus
- Chest X-ray: Helps identify heart enlargement and fluid buildup
- Electrocardiogram (ECG): Measures electrical activity and rhythm
- Cardiac MRI or CT Scan: Provides detailed anatomical images
- Cardiac Catheterization: Helps measure pressure and flow inside the heart chambers
At SGVP Holistic Hospital, all diagnostics are done in-house using modern technology, with collaborative input from cardiologists, radiologists, and cardiac surgeons to ensure accurate diagnosis and seamless treatment planning.
