Test for patients with heart valve disease

Stethoscope check

Simply listening to the heart with a stethoscope will diagnose heart valve disease in many patients. When blood flow abnormally across a heart valve, a sound called a ‘murmur’ is heard. An echocardiogram is required to confirm whether this murmur is due to underlying heart valve disease. 

Shortness of breath
