Heart Valve Conditions

Heart valve conditions are problems that affect the valves in the heart, which open and close with each heartbeat to keep blood flowing in the right direction. These conditions can include leaky valves, narrow valves, or valves that don't have a proper opening. Symptoms may include extreme tiredness, fainting, difficulty breathing, chest pain, or irregular heartbeats. Most heart valve conditions are treatable, and your doctor can diagnose them by asking about your symptoms and listening to your heart.
