Treatment in Western Medicine:
1. Medicines
Medicines can’t cure your heart valve problems. However, your doctor may prescribe medicines to relieve your symptoms and slow down any worsening of the condition. The medicine that your doctor offers you will be the one that's most effective for your individual needs. Medicines used in heart valve disease include: diuretics, ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors, Beta-blockers, Digoxin, Anticoagulant medicines, etc.

2. Heart Valve Repair
Heart valve repair is a surgical or minimally invasive procedure that corrects a heart valve that is not functioning properly. Heart valve repair usually involves the heart valve leaflets that open and close to pump blood through the heart. In some cases, your doctor may find that repairing your heart valve is the best way to treat your heart valve disease.

3. Heart Valve Replacement
When repair is not an option, replacing your damaged heart valve may be the most effective treatment for your condition. Heart valve replacement is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged heart.

4. Balloon Valve Surgery  
Balloon valve surgery (balloon valvuloplasty) is a procedure which is used occasionally for people with a narrowed valve (aortic or mitral stenosis). It may be used in young children until they are old enough for a valve replacement. Your doctor may also offer you balloon valvuloplasty if you can't have valve surgery, or to support your heart until you can have TAVI.
