Heart Valve Disease Awareness Week

Heart Valve Disease Awareness Week is an annual campaign dedicated to increasing understanding of conditions that affect the valves of the heart. Heart valves are essential for directing blood flow properly through the heart. When these valves don't function correctly, it can lead to symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, or more serious health problems. The awareness week aims to educate the public about risk factors, symptoms, and the importance of early diagnosis and treatment. By raising awareness, the goal is to promote timely medical care and support for those affected, ultimately improving health outcomes.
