First-line treatments
Disease management and monitoring
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Valve Repair or Replacement Surgery
Surgical intervention to repair malformed cardiac valves using techniques such as leaflet reconstruction, commissurotomy, or annuloplasty, with valve replacement using mechanical or bioprosthetic prostheses when repair is not feasible. Timing depends on valve dysfunction severity and symptom progression.
Diuretic and Anticoagulant Therapy
Diuretics to reduce fluid overload and manage heart failure symptoms, with anticoagulation therapy when valve replacement has been performed to prevent thromboembolic complications. Antiplatelet agents may be used as an alternative depending on valve type and stroke risk.
Additional treatment options
Regular Echocardiographic Surveillance
Serial echocardiograms to monitor valve function, ventricular dimensions, and pulmonary pressures at intervals determined by disease severity. Transesophageal echocardiography may be needed for detailed valve morphology assessment.
monitoringSodium Restriction and Heart-Healthy Diet
Low-sodium dietary modifications to reduce fluid retention and decrease cardiac workload, combined with heart-healthy eating patterns emphasizing fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Monitoring daily sodium intake to less than 2000mg helps control blood pressure and edema.
dietaryBalloon Valvuloplasty
Percutaneous balloon catheter dilation of stenotic cardiac valves as a palliative or bridge procedure, particularly useful in pediatric patients or those at high surgical risk. This procedure can delay the need for definitive surgical intervention.
