AYURVEDIC TREATMENT FOR
AORTIC VALVE PROLAPSE
Heart valve diseases include conditions like aortic valve prolapse illness where the valve between the main artery in the body (the aorta) and the lower left chamber of the heart (the left ventricle) doesn't work right.
The aortic valve aids in maintaining proper blood flow through the heart. Blood flow to the body and the rest of the heart might be impacted by an unhealthy or damaged aortic valve.
Aortic valve prolapse disease can develop later in life as a result of various medical disorders, or it might be present at birth (congenital heart disease).
The type and degree of the disease determine the course of treatment for aortic valve prolapse disease. Surgery may be required in some cases to replace or repair the aortic valve.
Signs and symptoms of the disease may include:
Whooshing or swishing heart sounds (heart murmur)
Chest pain or tightness
Dizziness
Fainting
Fatigue after activity or having less ability to be active
Irregular heartbeat
Shortness of breath, particularly during vigorous activity or when lying down
Not eating enough (mainly in children with aortic valve stenosis)
Not gaining enough weight (mainly in children with aortic valve stenosis)
Aortic valve prolapse disease may be caused by a heart defect present at birth (congenital heart defect). Other causes of aortic valve prolapse disease later in life include:
Age-related changes to the heart
Infections
High blood pressure
Injury to the heart
Risk factors
Many things can raise the risk of aortic valve prolapse disease, including:
Older age Calcium deposits can build up on the aortic valve as people age, causing the aortic valve to stiffen and become narrow.
Heart valve problems are present at birth (congenital heart defects). Some people are born with a missing, extra, or fused valve flap (cusp), increasing the risk of aortic valve regurgitation.
Rheumatic fever This complication of strep throat can cause aortic stenosis, a type of valve disease. If you have heart valve disease due to rheumatic fever, it's called rheumatic heart disease. If not, it's called nonrheumatic heart disease.
Inflammation of the lining of the heart's chambers and valves (endocarditis). This life-threatening condition is usually caused by infection. It can damage the aortic valve.
History of radiation therapy to the chest. Some types of cancer are treated with radiation therapy. Symptoms of heart valve disease may not be noticed until many years after radiation therapy has been received.
Other health conditions. Chronic kidney disease, lupus and Marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disease, can increase the risk of aortic stenosis or regurgitation.
If you experience any of the warning signs or symptoms of valve disease, including shortness of breath, exhaustion after exercise or feelings of a pounding or irregular heartbeat, schedule an appointment with us at the DHAGE HEALTHCARE CARDIO PROTECTIVE AYURVED CENTRE. Heart failure may be a factor in the onset of the initial symptoms of aortic valve dysfunction. If you have exhaustion that doesn't improve with rest, shortness of breath or swelling in your ankles or feet, which are classic signs of heart failure, consult our ayurvedic doctor now.
