A bicuspid aortic valve may present few problems throughout your life. But you’ll still need to live a heart-healthy lifestyle and monitor your cardiovascular system to prevent complications. The ...

Valvular heart disease, also called heart valve disease, occurs when you have a diseased or damaged heart valve. When your heart pumps blood, your valves open and close to keep blood flowing in the ...

Aortic valve insufficiency is a form of valvular heart disease. It occurs when the aortic valve does not function properly. This may cause the heart to work harder and can lead to heart failure.

Modern medicine has advanced dramatically, yet one of the most common causes of sudden cardiac death continues to go undetected: heart valve disease, particularly aortic stenosis. This condition ...

An aortic stenosis murmur is an unusual sound the heart makes due to a narrowing of the aortic heart valve. The narrowed heart valve restricts blood flow from the heart, which can create a murmur.

In the United States, cardiovascular health is especially important. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., and as many as 1.5 million people have been diagnosed with aortic stenosis ...

Mitral valve, computer illustration. Valvular heart disease can, if found early, be managed and potentially mitigated before the need for surgery. As such, education is important so that cardiology ...

Aortic stenosis is a narrowing of the aortic valve that affects how blood flows through the heart and body. While not often linked to heart valve narrowing, high and irregular blood pressure can ...

University of East Anglia scientists have developed cutting-edge MRI technology to diagnose a common heart problem more quickly and accurately than ever before. New analysis from the EARLY TAVR trial ...

Researchers have now proposed a molecular mechanism that links amyloid deposition in the aortic valve with degenerative calcification. They also theorize that other risk factors for CAVD, such as high ...
