heart valve therapy

Heart valve therapy involves medical procedures to repair or replace damaged heart valves, which control blood flow in the heart. Healthy valves ensure that blood moves efficiently through the heart and to the rest of the body. When valves become narrowed or leak, it can lead to serious health issues. Treatments may include minimally invasive techniques, like inserting a catheter to repair the valve, or traditional surgery to replace it with a mechanical or biological valve. The goal is to restore proper blood flow, improve heart function, and enhance overall quality of life for patients.
