Chest pain is often associated with heart attacks, but it can also be a sign of heart valve disease. This pain, or angina, can result from the heart working harder to compensate for valve dysfunction, leading to increased oxygen demand and subsequent discomfort. Unlike the intense pain of a heart attack, this ache might be more subtle, presenting as a dull pressure or tightness. Recognizing chest pain as a potential symptom of heart valve disease is essential, as it can guide timely diagnostic evaluations and interventions, preventing further cardiac damage.
