Heart Care The condition where either one or more than one of the valves of the heart is not functioning properly is referred to as Valvular heart disease. In this situation either the valve will not be able to open properly as it should and this is known as stenosis or it will not be able to close properly and it is known as prolapsed. The main reason for the cause of this valvular heart disease could be either some kind of infection, heart attack or congenital defects.
It is not necessary that the valvular heart disease should be necessarily linked to the coronary disease. But at times there is a possibility that these can be inter related as a heart disease can lead to a heart attack which can further lead to the blockage of the valve. Women who have crossed the age of 25 or are nearing their menopause have a higher risk of developing heart disease and the same is the situation with men over 40. Therefore, it is quite important that both men and women should always take good care of their health to avoid this kind of situation.
