heart valves<\/a> as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSome people may not notice any change in heart function attributed to dysfunction of the heart valves, while others may find they develop symptoms of chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, light-headedness, and fatigue. Should the patient fail to receive a diagnosis and treatment for their condition, they may run the risk of developing a life-threatening form of valve disease that can result in the death of the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The symptoms do not necessarily indicate the severity of the condition, and patients will require a chest x-ray to uncover the extent of the damage to the heart. In most cases, if the physician catches the problem in time, there may be no lasting damage to the heart valves or the cardiovascular system. However, if the patient does not receive any treatment, they could end up in a life-threatening position.
