What is Aortic aneurysm?
The heart is the most important muscle in your body, and its primary job is to pump the blood across.

This can cause a rupture of the vessels as a result of which, blood gets leaked into the bod...more

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement/implantation, TAVR/TAVI in short, is a minimally invasive procedure implemented in surgery to replace old and damaged aortic valves with a fully collapsible, stent-like valve via a catheter. The new valve is made to expand, so that it can push the old valve out of its place and take its place.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement/implantation (TAVR/TAVI) is a relatively new FDA approved procedure primarily meant for those who have a moderate to h...more

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), also known as TAVI, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Doctors use this procedure to repair a valve instead of removing the old damaged one. In this procedure, a replacement valve is placed in the position of the aortic valve.
How does placing a new valve inside the old valve work?
Similar to placing a stent inside an artery, the TAVR procedure allows for a fully collapsible valve to be placed inside the damaged valve with...more

While the word heart attack sounds almost fatal, it need not be the case. Knowing how to identify an attack and being aware of some simple measures can help save lives.

There are valves in each of the four chambers of the heart. These valves make sure that blood flows in one direction only. The blood flows from the atria into the ventricles through the mitral and the tricuspid valves. The pulmonic and the aortic valves allow the blood to flow out of the ventricles. Valve problems occur when the normal functioning of the valve is impaired.
Impaired valve function leads to blood flow obstruction, which in turn can lead to stenosis of the valve. This put...more
