What Should Be Done About Heart Valve Leakage?

Patients with heart valve leakage can generally be treated through medication therapy and surgical treatment. 1. Medication Therapy: Incomplete closure of heart valves can lead to heart valve leakage, blood regurgitation, and blood flowing back and forth in the heart, failing to effectively enter the aorta, which will increase the burden on the heart. Medications such as Digoxin Tablets and Captopril Tablets can be taken to relieve related symptoms, prevent complications, and delay the occurrence of heart failure. 2. Surgical Treatment: If medication therapy is ineffective, surgical treatment needs to be performed as soon as possible, such as heart valve repair and artificial heart valve replacement. The former is suitable for some congenital valve clefts, valve commissural adhesion, valve prolapse, ischemic mitral valve insufficiency, and rheumatic valve insufficiency, while the latter is applicable to most rheumatic, infectious, and calcific valve diseases. Generally, patients should pay attention to resting more, ensuring sufficient sleep time, avoiding staying up late and fatigue, maintaining a diet that is light, nutritious, and easy to digest, eating fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement vitamins, and participating in aerobic exercises appropriately to improve their resistance.
