Abstract

Heart valve diseases are among the most critical cardiovascular disorders, affecting millions of people worldwide. These conditions occur when one or more of the heart's valves do not function properly, disrupting normal blood flow through the heart. The most common types include stenosis (narrowing of the valve) and regurgitation (leakage of the valve). Causes may range from congenital defects and infections such as rheumatic fever to age-related degeneration and lifestyle factors.

This paper explores the anatomy and function of heart valves, the pathophysiology of valve disorders, and modern diagnostic techniques like echocardiography and MRI. Special attention is given to recent advances in treatment options, including minimally invasive valve repair and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), which have significantly improved patient outcomes.

Understanding heart valve diseases is essential not only for early detection and prevention but also for improving quality of life through timely and effective medical or surgical intervention. This research aims to shed light on the importance of heart valve health and the promising future of cardiovascular medicine.
