Understanding Ageing & Heart Valve Problems | Dr. Sridhara G | Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road

While heart conditions like cardiac arrest and heart attack are widely recognised, other age-related cardiac issues, such as aortic valve degeneration, are becoming increasingly significant. In a recent video, Dr. Sridhara G, Consultant – Interventional Cardiology and Electrophysiology at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bengaluru, discusses these conditions in depth. Dr. Sridhara explains that increased life expectancy, thanks to advancements in healthcare, has led to a higher incidence of age-related heart conditions. He focuses particularly on aortic stenosis, a condition caused by cholesterol and calcium deposits that narrow the aortic valve. This narrowing impairs heart function and can significantly reduce quality of life. Dr. Sridhara emphasises the importance of timely intervention to prevent severe complications such as heart failure or sudden cardiac death.
