Mitral insufficiency is one of the another common heart valve disease. In this condition the blood can not pumb efficiently with the simple defination.
What are the symptoms of mitral valve disease?
There are many signs of mitral valve disease and the most common symptoms are ,

But not every patient with mitral stenosis can be a candidate for this procedure. You need to talk to your doctor to learn if you can be a cadidate for this treatment.
Mitral valve repair: Mitral valve repair is a surgical treatment which is usually performed to treat mitral insufficiency . However to decide the best treatment option for you , your condition should be evaluated by your doctor.

Aortic valve regurgitation is one of the another common heart valve disease. In this condition depending on various pathologies ,the aortic valve is not fully closed and as a result of this the blood pumped into the aorta is leaking to the left ventricle.
What are the symptoms of aortic valve disease?
There are many signs of aortic valve disease and the most common signs are:
How is aortic valve disease diagnosed?

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR): This minimally invasive surgical procedure performed patients who suffered from aortic valve stenosis. The procedure is advised for high risk patients for an open heart procedure.
