Structural Heart Program

What is Structural Heart Disease?

Structural heart disease affects the parts of your heart that control blood flow, including the heart valves, walls, and chambers. Some people are born with these conditions, while others develop them over time as they age or because of other health conditions.

Common structural heart conditions

• Heart valves that are narrowed or leaking 
• Small openings or holes in the heart 
• Other changes in the heart's structure that affect how blood flows through the heart

What Are the Symptoms?

When your heart isn't working as it should, your body may not get enough oxygen-rich blood. This can cause symptoms such as:

• Shortness of breath 
• Feeling tired or lacking energy 
• Chest discomfort 
• Dizziness or fainting 

Treatment Options

Many structural heart conditions can now be treated with minimally invasive procedures that do not require open-heart surgery. These procedures use a thin tube called a catheter, which is guided through a blood vessel to repair or replace parts of the heart.
