About
Approximately 15.3 million Americans are living with heart valve disease (HVD), and more than 25,000 people in the U.S. die from it each year. HVD has many forms, but common symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort are often mistaken for normal aging. Although causes and risk factors vary, one thing is clear: early diagnosis and timely treatment can significantly improve quality of life and outcomes. Today, treatment options range from traditional surgery to less invasive procedures, with ongoing research continuing to expand what is possible. Join this On the Pulse session to learn what HVD is, the main types of valve conditions, key symptoms and risk factors, how it is diagnosed, and the latest treatment options.
Join this session to:
- Describe what heart valve disease is and the main types of valve conditions.
- Recognize common symptoms and risk factors of heart valve disease.
