Aortic Valve Disease
🫀❤️ LET’S TALK ABOUT THE AORTIC VALVE because it’s #HeartValveDiseaseAwarenessWeek, led by the Heart Valve Disease Patient Network at Global Heart Hub to which Aortic Hope is proud to be a member.
💓Heart valve disease can develop quietly. Symptoms like breathlessness, fatigue or dizziness may not appear for years… or may not appear at all. Sometimes, the first sign is a heart murmur — a subtle change in the sound of blood flowing through the heart.
🩺It’s not something you can hear yourself, but your doctor can with a simple stethoscope check… the first step in detecting heart valve disease. Listening for the sound of a heart murmur can be life-saving, so ask your doctor to listen to your heart. 🩺
🫀Heart valve disease is a medical condition that occurs when one or more of the four valves in our heart don’t work properly. It is common, serious, but treatable, and a heart murmur may be the first sign.
