                      Heart Valve Care


                      Longview Heart and Vascular InstituteRoughly five million Americans are diagnosed with heart valve disease each year. The cardiovascular medicine department at Longview Regional Medical Center is proud to be the region's first dedicated facility to offer options for treating heart valve disease. Heart valve disease occurs when:

                      • Heart valve leaflets do not open normally (stenosis), which restricts blood flow, or
                      • Valves do not close properly (regurgitation), which causes leakage through the valve leaflets.

                      Symptoms

                      Symptoms of heart valve disease are very similar to that of coronary disease, such as chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, feeling of fatigue, loss of energy, palpitations and edema (particularly in the lower extremities).

                      Who should be evaluated?

                      Anyone with these symptoms should be evaluated. While heart valve disease can happen at any age, those older than 60 are at a higher risk for valve diseases such as aortic stenosis.
