Echo provides accurate information regarding structure of valve and dimensions of
the chambers. Doppler information is valuable in calculating the degree of stenosis
or regurgitation. Trans-Esophageal Echocardiography or TEE can be helpful in
planning valve repairs.
TREATMENT
Medical Treatment
Once the valve disorder is diagnosed, initial line of treatment will be medical.
Depending on the type of lesion and severity of the lesion the treatment also
differs.
The medicines may include anti-hypertensive drugs, heart rate controlling
medications, diuretics, anti-platelets and anti-coagulants.
