Leaky Heart Valves - Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 жов 2013
- Our heart valves help ensure that blood flows forward through the heart. However, when heart valves become leaky, blood may flow backwards instead. National Heart Centre Singapore (NHCS) Consultant, Dr Yeo Khung Keong, explains the common symptoms of leaky heart valves, causes and treatments available to patients.

My hubby passed away 3 weeks ago from this disease. Please go see a cardiologist, don't wait too late.
I hav this thanks for posting, sorry for your loss
Very sad
Condolences.
My beautiful grandmother who I never met because she died in 1932 at the age of 32 from mitral valve damage whether it was from an infection as she nursed all the return servicemen back in 1919 or whether she was born with it as we have found a couple of the cousins to have Similar problems. It breaks my heart to know what she was feeling at 32 I’m feeling now at 59 because of COPD that I basically brought on myself from smoking. My mum still alive she’s 95 and i cherish every day with her because she didn’t have the chance to have her mother from the age of four. Glad medical procedures have come so far from then gosh back then they thought cancer was contagious and you would get locked away.
Very clear and informative. Thank you.
Thank you, excellent presentation Dr
Thank yoy very much for these videos that very informative
Very well explained good job
Thank you for the information very informative ❤
Thanks for that info..my father diagnose yesterday of valve leak he is schedule on surgery ..all symptoms he experience since last year...they do EkG, echogram and tredmill on him before it was diagnose..
This is more accurate of my condition than any description iv heard. I was told under no circumstance was l to hv surgery.
Why couldn't you have surgery?
In 2017 I underwent two open heart surgeries ,I had a mitral valve replacement and I was diagnosed with a rare heart condition, Left Ventricls Non compaction Valve and a Submitral Aneurysm.
How are you today?
How are you doing today
Thanks. A good informative video. I would like to know more about diagnosis.
Usually obtained via echocardiogram.
Diagnosis is done by stethoscope, ECG, echocardiogram, echocardiogram and sometimes other tests also
@@personincognito3989 What this geezer says as in array of tests also included, angiogram.
Mine was found through an echocardiogram.
please give medicen for this mild MR ad mital valve proplase..or normal veg diet exercise enough..
I have mild TR. Will it progress? Any treatment options?

Which doctor do you consult bcz am also suffering the same problem we don't know were to go pls rpy me😢
I have seen a video on Arjuna Tea which may help with several heart issues including leaky heart valve. Also there is a video from Austin Goh - 7 ways to help with leaky heart valve which may help. Dr do you think this will help
I have heart failure due to leaky aortic valve can it be treated with by valve replacing
Heart valve leaking after replacement, only found out after gp report, consultant and surgeon didnt tell me
Hello I have a pain since last year Dr said is because I work hard labor
The waiting times in Scotland for seeing a cardiologist can be up to 33 weeks, this is horrendous.
OMG.. that's why here in America we don't want universal healthcare. Canada and Uk, I think they wait too.
@jingwills6267 We used to have a good health service, but the quality of politicians we have today is absolutely shocking. Gone are the days when politicians really wanted to help and did whatever had to be done to achieve that aim. Now, those people are just trying not to be disliked.
what kind of Medication????
I have three leaky valves (except the aurota)... I have very bad symptoms despite the report saying trace ..
I was just recently found to have this when trying to find out the cause of my arythmia. At this point its mild enough that they're waiting a few years before another echocardiogram. It does explain why I'm tired all the time.
Do you have anemia? I have had it for 8 years and no cause has ever been found. My heart is now enlarged and arthymic. I've been short of breath for all these years. I'm waiting for Monday 8/15/22 to see my GP. I'm quite scared and terrified I'll have a heart attack before I get proper treatment. 💗🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@wendi2819 no, I don't have any anemia. They did blood work a couple weeks before my cardiologist appointment.
So it can cause fatigue? I wonder if that's my issue too
Hey Vicki
Would like to speak with you.
Please let me know if u could help
@@wendi2819 i wish everything to be absolutely fine with you...
Take precautions & have faith....
My mom diagnosed with this symptoms heart enlarged and leaky valve what should I do
Is it wise to do an IRONMAN with a slightly leaky heart valve?
There are acupressure points for leaky heart valves. on youtube there are many videos on the points to stimulate for the heart. Also look into Arjuna Tea - this may also help. Watch a video by Austin Goh - 7 exercises for leaky heart valves or similar title. He shows you very clearly which exercises to do if you have leaky heart valves or inflammed heart. Not sure if this will help but you can look and decide for yourself. Also look into Vitamin B4 which may also be beneficial for the heart. You also need to see cardiologist to get ultrasound. Also carry with you at all times Ceyenne Pepper with water just in case you feel pain in your chest.
Interesting to hear cayenne and water. I had an echo done today. Just about 100% sure valve leakages were found. Glad people are sharing with me so I can hopefully cure the situation.
I saw his excise video for leaky heart but I'm not sure if that works or make it worse. It's a good exercise though but since he's not a doctor, I'm not sure. I take Magnesium Glycinate and COQ10 to help my heart. My cardiologist did not advice any treatment yet, I have mild leak on 2 valves. I would rather fix them soon than later.
I am 30 years old......I have the same diseases doctor told me you have this leaky heart valve by birth and they examine me from many years.i dont feel any problem except sort of breath some time .doctor said if the position remains same then it won't cause any problem..... But u have check up every six month
How could I cure that valvular Insufficiency? What would be the worse situation?By doing exercise is sufficient or not? Could you please relpy? Thanks Dr...
I seem to always have a dull pressure in the bottom of my throat around my thyroid area.
Do you have any issues with swallowing (like feeling like things are getting stuck or hung up where you're experiencing pressure?
heather whitehurst no nothing like that
It’s just a weird dull intermittent pressure that seems like a blood pressure or blood flow issue.
I’m getting a 24 hour blood pressure monitor tomorrow to see how it is overnight and throughout the day.
@@heatherwhitehurst3692 what does it mean if you have issues with swallowing like things are getting stuck? I have that. I always wondered if it was heart related.
@@ziny82 how did it go? Any updates
How are you doing now? My chest pain is more near my heart to the left. It's a full aching feeling.
My Friend has a heart leaking problem what home remedy can I be giving him
thank you
My mother is aged 60 to 65 and the doctor told me his 3 valve problems then my mother also has Gallbladder Stone Mesmerize then it is a safe condition? It can be operated?
Ia there any cardiology doctor who talk with me?
im 15. at 6 i had an asd repair. along with multiple other defects repaird. i had 2 surgeries. im healthy besides my mitral valve has a mild leak. i have heart palpitations a lot and chest pain .
I'm sorry you're having to deal with that being so young. My mitral valve has a mild leak as well but I do have pretty bad palpitations and chest pain. They don't see it as being bad enough to do surgery but it effects me daily. I can't even do anything strenuous without my heart beating like crazy and feeling dizzy. Wishing the best for you.
@@piaaadah I was diagnosed the same too. How are you today? I've been hospitalized twice and been on check ups for 9 months now. 2 cardiologist doesn't mind it at all but my suffering is frightening me. Left chest pain, fatigue, breathlessness, nausea, sudden sharp or jolting pain, numbness and tinglings, headaches and backpain, do you experienced these as well?
@@jesselquilala2569 Today was better than yesterday, thank you so much for asking. Some days I feel my heart pounding while I'm just laying down not doing anything. I was hospitalized twice as well. The first time my bpm was 175 and my chest pain was severe. They didn't find anything besides low potassium (not sure if it's related to my leaky heart valve but it could be) It wasn't until I saw my cardiologist and got all the tests done that they found the regurgitation. I do also have back/neck pain, I never attributed it to my heart but now I'm wondering if it could be. I get the headaches too which usually lead to nausea for me. I have 2 different types of chest pain it's either an aching long-lasting pain or a sharp short-lasting pain. The sharp pains usually happen at night. I sleep for 12 hours and I'm still exhausted throughout the day. When I'm short on breath it can feel suffocating and hard to catch my breath. It's scary having to go through this and I really feel for you. As a woman it's hard enough finding a doctor that take your symptoms seriously, it takes so long to even get a diagnosis. Then once you get a diagnosis they still don't take it seriously. I hope things get better for you dear.
@@piaaadah I feel bad for you. I hope you'll be fine too. Four doctors checked me, 2 cardiologist and 2 general surgeon. They all agreed that what I've been going through is the physical symptoms of panic disorder and severe anxiety. A neuro-psychiatrist interviewed and he said that I am going through something but did not dare followed up on him because I am just so tired of all this psych meds they've been giving me. I almost died on the hospital bed and in my bedroom. My heart just ached so bad and stops pumping, my spirit is slowly separating from my body, I can only called on Jesus name and I came back again. my guardian called the nurses but all they could do for me is put me on oxygen. They give me psych meds and Acid reflux medicines. I stopped all the meds, I'm only taking food supplements and vitamins right now. This month my last diagnosis was acid reflux and anxiety. Your physical symptoms could be because of anxiety, it's best to talk to a psychiatrist about it. Or, acid reflux, just look up acid reflux and GERD on the internet, main symptoms of gerd is anxiety and panic. I stopped my psych meds because all of these pain started when I am diagnosed with Mitral valve prolapse. My situation is also manageable, I realized that I got triggered with anger, when I get angry then my sympts started appearing and intensifies, so I tried toanage my emotion too. Hope we will be okay soon. I'll include you in my prayers.
My husband has a leaky heart valve due to a heart mumor he was born with
Could endurance sports like marathons and triathlons increase speed of heart valve degeneration?
That’s the issue I’m having now. I’ve been a long distance runner and taking breaks in the running is what causes the issue because the heart gets bigger from running, then smaller from inactivity. The valve doesn’t shrink with the heart, so it scars like stretch marks
That's what I'm wondering.
@@joedav02 can it be cured completely
I have 2 elongated mitral valves. Can this be treated with meds or surgery. Is the surgery dangerous Dr.

@@floraandfaunab8855 my grandfather developed this condition after death of my grandmother according to my mom my grandfather was 30 at that time and he was in grief he rarely used to come out of his room and that's why he developed this condition and doctors performed surgery and he lived 32 years after that and died from chest infection lastly at the age of 62

Mild is normal, so normal that 70% of the population has it and it never progressed. It doesn’t even fall under heart valve disease. Maybe looking into what else can mimic symptoms would do you good?

What if you have both mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation? What to do to prevent it?
That's my case. You can't prevent if you already have it though you can change your lifestyle and take the prescribed medications😊
@@arlenepulga9052 but Im not taking any medications. What is the precautions also?
Get enough excerise mild aerobic excerise at least 5 times a week for a half hour to 45 minutes at a time. Get enough sleep, change your diet to a heart healthy diet ex: Lots of veggies, fish, olive oils, lean proteins like chicken&turkey...Limit alcohol, caffeine,&sugar&salt...Also, if you are overweight loss weight. Drink lots of water...Try Coq10 supplements either with Krill oil or red yeast rice extract..If unsure consult with your doctor and or a nutritionist. Hope this helps...
I have MVP (mitral valve prolapse), Mitral regurgitation, Mild tricuspid regurgitation, Chest pain, Shortness of breath, Multiple pulmonary nodules, Intestinal metaplasia of gastric cardia, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), Difficulty swallowing pills since birth. Shit! I guess its game over for me and I'm only 27.
People say to work out and it'll help but I can't even do mild exercise without my chest hurting
Get your body into a state of ketosis
I got my results back and it says trace tricuspid should I worry. Everything else is normal
I was just diagnosed w/ mild tricuspid and mitral leak and my cardiologist did not worry about it too much, he said 95% of his patients have it. He did not advice anything to fix it yet. I am worried, I wish they can fix both w/o major surgery.
Lately I have been having shortness of breath especially if I'm lying on my bed. At times I do get panic attacks due to shortness of breath. Do have some pressure around the chest region. Then I will wake up , sit up for a moment. I feel better then. Could there be water in my lungs due to some leaky valves? Can someone advice? Thank you
I have the same issue, during that moment i used to have ecosprin and clonozapam, then i feel somehwt better, pls avoid cold conditions during that moment, use proper ventilations, avoid fat items start some small excecise like walking and do pranayamas breathing exercises, adopting better lifestyle would manage the mild heart valve issue, beisdes in my case i don't experience water formation or retention at my lungs
get to a cardiologist - asap

I know the feeling. I want through the same scenario. I had leaking heart valve and I was short of breath, leg swelling due to retaining fluid. I bounced back from it by exercising, chaninh what I eat and taking my medication. Just listing to the Doctor in General. If I can do it, you can too. Have faith, be positive and you will get through this.

Majority of patients with heart failure or just mitral valve problems are obese. They seek fuxitol pills or even surgery before they actually address the root of the problem which is obesity and cholesterol, more often than not caused by insulin resistance. There's no pull and surgeons just shut off the alarm which wilL resurface if lifestyle changes aren't applied. Want to be surprised how easy fast and lasting you can heal? Go 100% organic vegan, mostly raw and do not eat dinner. Large breakfast, decent lunch and replace dinner with moderate exercise even if you just walk in place. Watch your weight come off, insulin resistance fix and heart get stronger - no doctor needed
What if you are not obese & always been rather skinny but diabetic
I’m not obese and I’m 25. Whats my problem ?
@@deliciaperry4684 I'm not obese either or diabetic and I have a healthy diet and still have a leaky valve. I think some people are just born with it being defective.
115 lb, 30 year old woman with severe mitral valve regurgitation. You can’t reverse mitral valve regurgitation. If it’s severe, no going back without medication to keep it from progressing or surgery. It’s idiotic to think that lifestyle changes can reverse it. It’s a mechanical issue that requires a mechanical solution to reverse it back to normal.
@@sunrisesolitude2389 Exactly bcuz that’s not the case for everyone like me
Well I'm so sorry. (sniff sniff) :`((
its with deep regret i lost my mother last wednesday with this problem she had a cardiac arrest but in 2019 had a mini stroke and was on various tablets after leaveing hospital 2 weeks in and in 2020 she was fine but the problems started about 5 6 months ago she had developed a leaky heart valve and was put on diffrent tablets but due to the cardiac arrest it was to late very upsetting times.
