Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day

Listen to your heart! As many as 5 million Americans have heart valve disease —including me! I have aortic valve regurgitation. My mother and both aunts underwent aortic valve replacement later in life.
 
Heart valve disease can occur at any age. There are many advanced technologies available to treat even the most complex heart valve disease conditions.

A Little About Heart Valve Disease Awareness Day:

The goal of the annual awareness day on February 22 is to increase recognition of the specific risks and symptoms of heart valve disease, improve detection and treatment, and ultimately save lives. While heart valve disease can be disabling and deadly, available treatments can save lives, making education and awareness particularly important. On this day and throughout the year, the campaign partners—92 non-profits, advocacy organizations, professional societies, and hospitals and heart centers—are helping to spread the word about valve disease.
