Beschreibung

Heart disease remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, and within this category, valvular heart disease (VHD) presents a significant challenge. While statins have revolutionized cholesterol management and reduced the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), their impact on VHD is limited. This article explores the limitations of statins in treating VHD and delves into alternative treatment options offering a more comprehensive approach to managing this condition.

These valves ensure unidirectional blood flow within the heart chambers and prevent backflow. When a valve narrows (stenosis), leaks (regurgitation), or fails to close completely (prolapse), blood flow is disrupted, leading to various complications.
