Can Reveal Valve Defects Before They Present Symptoms
A series of valves in the heart regulates the flow of blood into and out of the chambers, and to major organs like the lungs. These valves are responsible for many of the heart problems that people experience. These valve problems are difficult to detect because they can have very mild symptoms. However, if these defects go unnoticed, over time, they can cause serious heart problems. Coronary angiograms are able to detect these valve problems much earlier than any other test.
