Heart Valve Disease Pre-Assessment in London

Your heart has four valves – the aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary valves. These valves open and close with each heartbeat to ensure blood flows smoothly through the heart and out to the rest of the body.

When a heart valve becomes damaged or diseased, it can affect how well blood flows. At our cardiology clinic in London, we provide expert heart valve disease assessment to identify the problem and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Types of Heart Valve Disease

Heart valve problems usually affect blood flow in one of two ways:

This occurs when a valve does not open fully, making it harder for blood to flow through the heart. The heart has to work harder to pump blood past the narrowed valve.

This happens when a valve does not close properly, allowing blood to leak backwards in the wrong direction. Over time, this can place extra strain on the heart.

Both valve stenosis and valve regurgitation can cause symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, chest discomfort, dizziness, or palpitations, although some patients may have few or no symptoms initially.

What Does Valve Disease Pre-Assessment Involve?

A heart valve pre-assessment is designed to understand:

  • Which valve is affected
  • How severe the valve disease is
  • Whether treatment is needed now or can be safely monitored

Dr Omar Ali will carefully assess your symptoms, medical history, and test results to determine the best treatment plan. This may include further imaging, regular follow-up, medication, or referral for valve intervention.

Surgical and Non-Surgical Valve Treatment Options

Where appropriate, we assess whether heart valve surgery is required and work closely with cardiac surgeons to ensure timely and expert care.
