Heart valve disease is a condition caused by either wear or disease of the heart valve(s), affecting blood flow through the heart. When diseased or defective, heart valves may not open or close properly and can interfere with blood flow. Many people mistakenly believe the symptoms of breathlessness, lightheadedness, fatigue and chest pains are due to ageing. There are several treatments available. It is important to remember that heart valve disease is a common, serious, but treatable condition that affects 1.5 million over 65s in the UK. Get to #KnowYourHeart here: https://lnkd.in/e8HUc2jv
