Structural Heart Care
Advanced valve assessment for narrowing, leakage and replacement planning.
Heart valves can become narrowed, leaky or stiff. Symptoms may be gradual and can include breathlessness, tiredness, swelling, chest discomfort or fainting. Dr. Khandelwal's experience includes structural heart interventions and TAVR, with each treatment option considered according to valve severity and the patient's overall health.
Conditions evaluated
- Aortic valve narrowing or leakage.
- Mitral valve narrowing or leakage.
- Valve-related breathlessness, fatigue or reduced exercise tolerance.
- Patients advised valve intervention who need specialist review.
Treatment approach
Evaluation may include echocardiography, TEE when needed, risk assessment and discussion of medical care or structural intervention options such as TAVR, BMV, BAV or MitraClip depending on the valve and patient profile.
