Are you experiencing breathlessness while climbing stairs, unusual fatigue, dizziness, or reduced stamina? Most people dismiss these symptoms as normal aging. But according to leading cardiologist Dr. Girish B Navasundi, these could be early warning signs of heart valve disease, particularly a condition called Aortic Stenosis. In this episode of Healthwise, host Karthik Chawla speaks with Dr. Girish about heart valve disease, why it often goes undiagnosed, the importance of regular heart screenings, and how a simple echocardiogram can detect serious problems before they become life-threatening. The conversation also explores TAVI/TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation/Replacement), a minimally invasive procedure that is transforming treatment for patients who may not be ideal candidates for open-heart surgery. Key Topics: • What heart valves do and why they matter • Understanding Aortic Stenosis • Symptoms you should never ignore • Why breathlessness isn't always "just aging" • The role of echocardiograms in early detection • TAVI/TAVR vs Open Heart Surgery • How modern medicine is helping patients live longer, healthier lives If you or a loved one are experiencing unexplained fatigue, breathlessness, chest discomfort, dizziness, or reduced activity levels, this episode could help you recognize when it's time to seek medical advice.
