Heart valve insufficiency includes mitral valve insufficiency, aortic valve insufficiency, etc. Asymptomatic and organic lesions can be temporarily left untreated for clinical observation; severe symptoms require drug and surgical treatment. 1. Mitral valve insufficiency (1) Mild regurgitation: may be asymptomatic, if there is no organic lesion after examination, it can be left untreated and the regurgitation situation can be reviewed regularly. (2) Severe regurgitation: acute pulmonary edema may occur, requiring timely treatment, including the use of medications such as captopril, hydrochlorothiazide, metoprolol, etc.; if the medication fails to control the symptoms continue to aggravate, or organic damage to the heart occurs, surgical treatment such as mitral valve replacement or repair may be required. 4. Aortic valve insufficiency (1) Mild aortic valve insufficiency: there may be no obvious clinical manifestations for a long time. If there is no organic damage after examination, regular follow-up is sufficient. (2) Severe aortic valve insufficiency: shortness of breath after activity, sedentary breathing, and nocturnal paroxysmal dyspnea may occur. Its treatment measures are regurgitated with severe mitral valve closure insufficiency. In addition to the above diseases, heart valve closure insufficiency also includes pulmonary valve closure insufficiency, tricuspid valve closure insufficiency, etc. Its treatment principle is similar to that of the above diseases, with follow-up for mild cases and drug or surgical interventions for severe cases. It is recommended to consult a hospital promptly for the symptoms mentioned above. These medications should be used under the supervision of a clinician.
