    Quality Heart Valve Disease Treatment

    Heart valve disease interrupts the normal flow of blood through your heart’s four valves—aortic valve, mitral valve, pulmonic valve and tricuspid valve—and can be very dangerous to your health.

    Mitral valve regurgitation, the most common type of valve disorder, often comes on suddenly after a heart attack. It can also be caused by mitral valve prolapse (MVP), a condition that happens when the two valve flaps inside the mitral valve do not close evenly. MVP is also called “floppy valve syndrome,” click-murmur syndrome and Barlow’s syndrome.

    In addition to MVP and heart attack, there are many different causes for heart valve disease, including endocarditis, rheumatic fever, aortic aneurysm and hypertension.

    Team of surgeons operating

    PAMF’s heart specialists offer comprehensive treatment for valve stenosis and regurgitation with excellent outcomes. We have expertise in performing a variety of heart valve surgeries including valve repair and valve replacement both as open heart and minimally invasive procedures. Many of our heart care programs have been nationally recognized and named among the best by organizations such as the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, U.S. News & World Report, Truven Health Analytics and the Joint Commission.

    Cardiovascular Imaging and Diagnostic Services

    Heart valve disorders are sometimes caused – or made worse – by an undiagnosed heart problem. Take advantage of Sutter’s comprehensive and modern diagnostic tests to pinpoint any underlying heart-related conditions that may be contributing to your valve disorder.

    Understanding Heart Valve Disease

    They’re called heart valves, but they function more like trap doors. And when a “trap door” in your heart doesn’t shut correctly, blood goes in the wrong direction. Learn more about heart valve disease and why timing impacts your treatment options.
