Cardiac Valve Malfunction
Cardiac valve malfunction, also known as valvular heart disease, is a condition that affects the proper functioning of one or more of the heart’s valves. The heart has four valves: the aortic, mitral, pulmonary, and tricuspid valves. These valves ensure that blood flows in the correct direction through the heart’s chambers and to the rest of the body. When these valves do not open or close properly, it can lead to disrupted blood flow, which can have serious health implications.
Causes of Cardiac Valve Malfunction
Cardiac valve malfunction can be caused by a variety of factors. Some of the most common causes include:
- Congenital Heart Defects: Some individuals are born with heart valve abnormalities that can lead to malfunction over time.
- Rheumatic Fever: This inflammatory disease, which can develop after a strep throat infection, can damage heart valves.
- Endocarditis: An infection of the heart’s inner lining can damage the valves.
- Age-Related Changes: As people age, calcium deposits can build up on the heart valves, leading to stenosis or narrowing.
- Other Medical Conditions: Conditions such as high blood pressure, heart attack, or heart failure can contribute to valve problems.
Symptoms of Cardiac Valve Malfunction
The symptoms of cardiac valve malfunction can vary depending on the severity and type of valve affected. Common symptoms include:
- Shortness of Breath: Especially during exertion or when lying flat.
- Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or weak.
- Swelling: Particularly in the ankles, feet, or abdomen.
- Chest Pain: Discomfort or pain in the chest area.
- Irregular Heartbeat: Palpitations or a fluttering sensation in the chest.
- Dizziness or Fainting: Feeling lightheaded or losing consciousness.
Treatment of Cardiac Valve Malfunction
Treatment for cardiac valve malfunction depends on the severity of the condition and the specific valve affected. Options may include:
- Medications: To manage symptoms and prevent further complications. For example, anticoagulants like Xarelto can be prescribed to prevent blood clots.
- Lifestyle Changes: Such as dietary modifications, regular exercise, and quitting smoking to improve heart health.
- Surgical Procedures: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace the affected valve.
- Balloon Valvuloplasty: A procedure to widen a narrowed valve.

Prevention of Cardiac Valve Malfunction
While not all cases of cardiac valve malfunction can be prevented, certain measures can reduce the risk:
- Regular Check-Ups: Routine medical examinations can help detect early signs of valve problems.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding tobacco can support heart health.
- Infection Prevention: Practicing good hygiene and seeking prompt treatment for infections can prevent conditions like endocarditis.
- Managing Chronic Conditions: Keeping conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes under control can reduce the risk of valve issues.
