Hypertension & Valvular Disease

Hypertension and valvular heart diseases are common yet serious cardiac conditions that can significantly affect heart function if not treated on time. Effective management focuses on controlling blood pressure, preserving heart valve function, and preventing long-term complications such as heart failure, stroke, and heart attack.

Treatment includes personalized medication plans, regular monitoring, lifestyle guidance, and advanced cardiac evaluations. Early detection and proper management play a vital role in protecting the heart and ensuring long-term cardiovascular health.

What is Hypertension & Valvular Disease?

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, occurs when the force of blood against the artery walls remains persistently high, putting extra strain on the heart and blood vessels. Valvular heart disease involves damage or malfunction of one or more heart valves, affecting normal blood flow through the heart.

Common causes include:

• Long-term uncontrolled high blood pressure
• Age-related valve degeneration
• Rheumatic heart disease
• Congenital valve abnormalities
• Infections affecting heart valves

When is Hypertension & Valvular Disease Management Needed?

• Persistently high blood pressure readings
• Breathlessness during activity or at rest
• Chest discomfort or palpitations
• Swelling of feet or sudden weight gain
• Abnormal findings on ECG or echocardiography

Benefits of Hypertension & Valvular Disease Management

• Effective control of blood pressure
• Prevention of heart enlargement and failure
• Reduced risk of stroke and heart attack
• Slows progression of valve damage
• Improves overall heart function
• Enhances long-term quality of life
