When any of the heart's four valves breaks down, blood stops moving in the right direction. This puts the heart at risk for multiple complications. Patients need valve repair or replacement surgery.

Mount Sinai Heart is an international destination for valvular disease treatment. Our renowned physicians have invented devices and pioneered techniques used worldwide. We offer patients the most sophisticated diagnostic tools, such as remarkably clear 3D echocardiograms, for early and accurate detection.
