Mitral Valve Disease Program

Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital – Fort Worth

Treating degenerative mitral valve disease and functional mitral valve conditions

The Mitral Valve Disease Program in Fort Worth, part of the Valve Disorders Center, treats heart patients with mitral valve disease, including mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation and mitral valve prolapse. Interventional cardiologists and cardiac surgeons on the medical staff treat both degenerative mitral valve disease and functional mitral valve conditions.

Mitral valve disease intervention at the earliest stage of the heart condition is important. Early diagnosis can lead to an improved lifestyle, potentially lead to decreased dependence on blood thinners and could preserve heart function. Early intervention for mitral valve disease could also reduce the risk of stroke for the heart patient.
