What Is Heart Valve Disease?
Heart valve disease occurs when one or more of the heart's valves do not open or close properly, affecting the flow of blood through the heart. This can cause the heart to work harder and may lead to symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, chest discomfort, and dizziness. At Zambito Heart Center, Dr. Peter Zambito provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for a variety of heart valve conditions.
