Heart valve disease — including aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and others — is increasingly common with age. Our packages provide high-quality echocardiographic assessment of valve structure and function, with expert reporting by specialist cardiologists.
The heart contains four valves — aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary — which ensure blood flows in the correct direction. Heart valve disease occurs when one or more valves do not function properly due to stenosis (narrowing) or regurgitation (leakage).
💡 Many patients with mild or moderate valve disease remain symptom-free for years, making regular monitoring important. Echocardiography is recommended annually or every two years to track progression and determine when treatment is needed.
Heart murmur heard during a medical exam
Progressive breathlessness, especially on exercise
Chest pain or tightness
Dizziness or fainting on exertion
Unexplained fatigue or reduced exercise tolerance
Palpitations or new atrial fibrillation
Left untreated, severe valve disease can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias, or sudden cardiac events. Early recognition through echocardiograms and symptom tracking allows doctors to plan interventions such as valve repair or replacement before complications occur.
Everything you need to know about Heart Valve Disease FAQs and how private cardiac assessment works.
Heart valve disease happens when one or more of your heart valves do not open or close properly. Common symptoms include breathlessness, chest discomfort, fatigue, palpitations, dizziness, or leg swelling — although some people may not notice symptoms early on.
Doctors usually use an echocardiogram to see how your heart valves are functioning and check blood flow. Additional tests may include ECGs, chest X-rays, or heart rhythm monitoring.
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the valve problem. Some patients need monitoring only, while others may require medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery. Seek medical advice if you experience breathlessness, fatigue, chest pain, dizziness, or leg swelling.
