Leaky Heart Valve Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Treatment
In most cases it is not necessary to have a leaky heart valve treated, and it probably won’t even be diagnosed. If it is diagnosed and no treatment is recommended, the doctor may still recommend an annual check-up to check on the health of your heart, and your overall health.
When treatment is recommended, it is usually achieved through medication. In more severe cases where medication is not sufficient, surgery may be recommended. In some instances, this can mean having the faulty valve removed and replaced with an artificial one. Of course, the treatment will be recommended according to the severity of the condition and the threat it poses to the patient’s health.
