Aortic Disease
Aortic disease is a serious condition that affects the aortic heart valve, which is responsible for controlling the flow of blood from the heart to the body. It is a condition that can be life-threatening if left untreated, and it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible if you experience any symptoms. Symptoms of aortic disease may include chest pain, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, dizziness, and fainting. These symptoms can be caused by the blockage of blood flow to the heart or the damage to the aortic heart valve. A definitive diagnosis of aortic disease can be made through various tests, such as echocardiography, stress test, and angiography. Treatment options may include medication, surgery, or a combination of both. It is important to manage aortic disease by following a healthy lifestyle, which includes quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and following a heart-healthy diet. Regular check-ups with a healthcare provider can also help detect any potential issues early on and prevent progression to more serious complications.
