What Happens with Heart Valve Insufficiency?

1. Heart valve insufficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, hepatomegaly, and splenomegaly after activities. In severe cases, it can also lead to heart failure, etc. It is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment and worsening the condition, which is not conducive to recovery.

2. Incomplete closure of heart valves refers to abnormalities in the valve apparatus, structure, and function, causing the heart valves to fail to close tightly, affecting the normal flow of blood, and ultimately leading to heart failure. The causes may be related to inflammatory factors, ischemic necrosis, or congenital developmental malformations. Mild patients may experience fatigue symptoms after activities. As the disease worsens, patients may develop symptoms such as liver and spleen enlargement. If the disease cannot be actively and effectively controlled, heart failure is likely to occur. After falling ill, it is necessary to seek timely treatment in a formal hospital's cardiovascular department or cardiac surgery department for feasible heart valve repair, artificial heart valve replacement, etc.

3. During treatment, it is also important to maintain good living habits, avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods, and refrain from smoking and drinking alcohol.
