Sutter Tracy Heart Valve Disease

It can feel overwhelming to learn you have a heart valve disease—especially if you haven’t noticed slowly developing symptoms. Cardiovascular specialists work with you to explain your options and create a treatment plan that’s right for you.

    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.

    Sutter’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. To determine if you're a candidate for heart surgery, your doctor may refer you fordiagnostic procedures, such as a cardiac catheterization.

    The Sutter Health network provides several ground-breaking minimally invasive procedures to treat patients who aren't candidates for open heart surgery, such as:

    • Non-surgical mitral valve repair - Mitral Clip
    • Non-surgical mitral valve replacement - TMVR
    • Transcatheter aortic valve repair (TAVR)

    These procedures use catheters, echocardiogram and X-ray guidance, and technologically advanced implantable devices to treat aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation, avoiding the need for open heart surgery. They allow for quick recovery times, meaning most patients are released from the hospital the very next day.

    If you're interested in learning more about these treatments, speak to your doctor or care team. You can also speak to a Sutter Health network coordinator about these procedures:

    • Bay Area - (877) 283-2873
    • Sacramento/Central Valley - (916) 887-4242

    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.

    Electrophysiology Research

    Sutter Health Electrophysiology Research
    Cardiac Electrophysiology, or arrhythmia is the study of the electrical functions of the cells within the heart. The electrical signals can be observed using an Electrocardiogram, or an ECG. An ECG can reveal different arrhythmic conditions such as Bradycardia, Tachycardia, and Atrial Fibrillation.
