By combining advanced technology with clinical excellence, she helps patients recover with confidence and enjoy better long-term heart health.
What Is Heart Valve Disease?
Heart valve disease develops when one of the heart’s four valves — mitral, aortic, tricuspid, or pulmonary — no longer opens or closes the way it should. This may occur as valve stenosis, where the valve narrows and restricts forward blood flow, or as valve regurgitation, where the valve leaks and allows blood to flow backward.
Depending on which valve is affected and how advanced the condition is, treatment can range from medication and ongoing monitoring to valve repair or valve replacement surgery, using either a mechanical valve or a biological (tissue) valve.
Where appropriate, procedures may be performed through traditional open-heart surgery or through a minimally invasive approach using smaller incisions, based on a detailed cardiac evaluation of the patient’s condition.

Our Procedures
Types of Heart Valve Disease Treatment
Heart valve disease treatment includes a range of advanced options tailored to each patient's condition, allowing effective management of valve disorders with the best possible long-term outcomes.
Medical Management
Suitable for patients with mild to moderate valve disease, using medication and regular cardiac monitoring to control symptoms and track disease progression over time. .
Valve Repair
Preserves the patient's own valve wherever possible through surgical correction, often preferred when the valve structure allows for durable, long-term repair.
Valve Replacement Surgery
Replaces a severely damaged valve with either a mechanical or biological valve, chosen based on the patient's age, lifestyle, and overall health profile.
Minimally Invasive & Robotic-Assisted Treatment
Uses smaller incisions and, in select cases, robotic-assisted instruments for greater surgical precision — supporting a smoother, less painful recovery in appropriately selected patients.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Common symptoms include shortness of breath, fatigue, chest discomfort, irregular heartbeat, swelling in the legs or ankles, and reduced ability to perform physical activities. Persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a heart specialist.
Patients experiencing valve narrowing, valve leakage, or structural valve damage that interferes with proper blood flow may require treatment. Dr. Smruti Hindaria evaluates each patient's heart condition, symptoms, and diagnostic reports to determine the most appropriate treatment approach. .
Not always. Mild cases may be managed with medication and periodic monitoring, while moderate to severe valve damage often requires repair or replacement surgery. Dr. Smruti Hindaria recommends timely cardiac evaluation if symptoms persist or worsen.
The duration of valve repair or replacement surgery is usually around 3 to 5 hours. The exact time may vary depending on the patient's overall health, the complexity of the valve condition, and whether any additional heart procedures are required.
There are mainly two types of valves used during valve replacement: Mechanical valves, which are highly durable and may last for many years but generally require lifelong blood-thinning medication. Biological (tissue) valves, which are made from animal or donor tissue and may have different durability and medication requirements. Dr. Smruti Hindaria helps patients choose the most suitable valve type based on age, lifestyle, medical history, and individual needs.
Yes, heart valve disease treatment is a well-established area of cardiac care performed by skilled specialists. Like any major medical intervention, it carries certain risks, but improvements in techniques, technology, and post-treatment care have made outcomes significantly safer.
Recovery varies from person to person and depends on the type of treatment received. Most patients stay in the hospital for a few days, while complete recovery may take approximately 6 to 12 weeks. Dr. Smruti Hindaria advises patients to follow medication schedules, rehabilitation plans, and lifestyle recommendations for a smoother recovery.
Doctors may recommend tests such as echocardiography, ECG, chest X-ray, blood investigations, coronary angiography, and other cardiac imaging tests. These evaluations help Dr. Smruti Hindaria understand heart and valve function and prepare an appropriate treatment plan.
Yes, many patients are able to return to their regular activities after successful recovery. Maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle, attending cardiac rehabilitation, taking prescribed medicines, and following the guidance of Dr. Smruti Hindaria can help improve long-term heart health.
