As one of the nation's premier cardiovascular medicine programs, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is a leader in treatments that are alternatives to surgery for heart valve disease.
Our treatments for heart valve disease include:
- Balloon Valvuloplasty
- Investigation Studies: Percutaneous Valve Replacement
- Everest II
- Partner Trial
In 2009-2010, our cardiovascular program was ranked seventh in the nation in the annual America's Best Hospitals survey conducted by U.S.News and World Report.
What are Heart Valves?
Heart valves are flaps, or leaflets, of tissue that ensure that blood entering or leaving the heart moves in the proper direction with no backflow. The heart and its great vessels have a total of four valves, the:
- mitral valve
- tricuspid valve
- aortic valve
- pulmonic valve
Valvular disease can affect any of these four valves, and can interfere with the normal flow of blood through the heart.
