Valvular heart disease happens when your heart's valves do not work correctly. This causes your heart muscle to work harder so it can circulate the right amount of blood throughout your body. Valve disease can eventually lead to heart failure or HF.
The Valvular Heart Disease Program at U of U Health provides cutting edge treatment from multi-specialty, high certified providers. Our goal is to provide you with the best care available.
