Mild heart valve regurgitation need treatment?

#vinmec #hovantim #benhtimmach Heart valves are thin, flexible leaflets, made up of connective tissue surrounded by the endocardium. Heart valves determine the direction of blood flow into and out of the heart. Any problem with the heart valves is extremely dangerous to health. Up to now, many people still do not know what heart valve regurgitation is? What is heart valve regurgitation? Simply put, when the heart valve cannot close tightly, it will cause some blood to flow back into the heart chamber. Heart valve regurgitation is often caused by valve contraction, degeneration or dilation of the valve ring, or the valve ligament is too long or the ligament that suspends the heart valve is broken. Symptoms of heart valve regurgitation are insufficient blood to nourish the body, causing the patient to always be in a state of fatigue, shortness of breath, possibly chest pain. Depending on the severity of the disease, the doctor will decide on the appropriate method of heart valve regurgitation surgery or treatment. When the valve is leaky, the heart must work harder to compensate for the lack of blood volume due to reflux and process the remaining blood volume for the next contraction, which can gradually lead to heart failure. In addition to applying the method of treating heart valve regurgitation as prescribed by the doctor, patients with mild heart valve regurgitation need to have a scientific and reasonable lifestyle. At a mild level, most patients with heart valve regurgitation have no symptoms and are only accidentally discovered through echocardiography. There are 4 levels of heart valve regurgitation including: Mild heart valve regurgitation Moderate heart valve regurgitation Severe heart valve regurgitation Very severe heart valve regurgitation For patients with mild levels, it is usually not necessary to treat heart valve regurgitation, just need to monitor their health annually by echocardiography. Patients do not need to worry too much, mild heart valve regurgitation does not cause symptoms and does not affect the patient's daily life. Although heart valve regurgitation surgery is not required, patients with mild heart valve regurgitation need to be monitored periodically every 3 months, 6 months or 1 year. In cases where the regurgitation is caused by rheumatic heart disease, ligament disease, etc., closer monitoring is needed or whenever there are symptoms of heart failure. When signs of heart valve regurgitation are detected, the patient should go to a medical facility for a thorough examination and early detection. Because heart valve regurgitation is detected and treated early, along with appropriate lifestyle changes, it will help improve the patient's quality of life and treatment is simpler than late detection.
