When patients are told they have a valve issue, it is usually one of two types: stenosis or regurgitation. Both affect how blood flows through the heart, but they work in opposite ways.⁠ In some cases, patients can actually have stenosis and regurgitation of the same valve.⁠
⁠
In stenosis, the valve becomes stiff or narrowed. This makes it harder for blood to pass through, so the heart has to work harder just to push blood forward. Over time, this increased pressure can weaken the heart muscle.⁠
⁠
In regurgitation, the valve does not close all the way. This causes blood to leak backward into the previous chamber. The heart ends up pumping more than it should to keep circulation moving, which can also lead to fatigue and heart strain.⁠
⁠
The symptoms may overlap, but the treatment plan is different. That is why understanding which issue you have matters. Early detection and regular monitoring can make a significant difference.

We have made tremendous progress in treating cardiovascular disease, but the incidence of heart attacks and strokes remains high. A key reason is the environment around us. ⁠
⁠
In cities with high population density and traffic congestion, airborne pollutants trigger systemic inflammation and increase oxidative stress.⁠
⁠
These are direct contributors to coronary artery disease. A person walking for an hour in New Delhi may inhale the equivalent of several cigarettes’ worth of particulate matter. ⁠
⁠
This exposure cannot be overlooked. Managing cardiovascular health now requires us to consider environmental risk factors with the same seriousness as hypertension or diabetes.

Before we talk about pills, procedures, or scans, we have to talk about the basics: nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress. These are not optional. ⁠
⁠
They are the core of any treatment plan. A heart that is constantly under strain from poor diet, smoking, or inactivity will likely face setbacks in healing even with advanced medical technology.
⁠
Every guideline for heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes begins with lifestyle for a reason. It’s the one intervention thats in your control and can treat the root of disease.

Just wrapped up an incredible 48 hours in London!
There’s nothing more inspiring than collaborating with some of the world’s brightest minds to push the boundaries of what’s possible in cardiovascular care. I’m truly honored to be part of this innovative and diverse team developing a groundbreaking device for performing angioplasties. I learned so much from these bright engineers, entrepreneurs, and physicians and enjoyed sharing ideas with them. Can’t wait for the next chapter!

When someone has sleep apnea, their airway repeatedly collapses during sleep, cutting off oxygen. Each episode puts the body under stress, and the heart feels that burden. Oxygen drops, blood pressure spikes, and over time, this cycle increases the risk of arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and even stroke.⁠
⁠
Sleep Apnea is far more common than most people realize, and unfortunately, it is often dismissed until damage has already been done.⁠
⁠
If you wake up tired, gasp for air in your sleep, or have been told you snore loudly, it is worth investigating. A sleep study might protect your heart.
