Valve Clinic
Advanced care for heart valve disease.
Heart valve disease is a serious condition that can affect people at any age and requires timely diagnosis and treatment. As you get older, your heart valves may weaken, due to age or certain heart diseases. The valves may be too stiff and narrow to open fully, which is called stenosis. Or the blood may leak through the valves, which is called regurgitation. When other treatments don’t work, heart valve repair or heart valve replacement may be the answer. At Aspirus Heart Care, our expert physicians have repaired and replaced thousands of heart valves. We’re here to help get your heart health back on track.
The Valve Clinic at Aspirus Wausau Hospital is a regional resource dedicated to the evaluation and treatment of valvular heart disease. Patients benefit from access to advanced diagnostic testing and a coordinated care approach focused on identifying the most appropriate treatment options.
The Valve Clinic staff will work to streamline your visits. Patients’ specific work up will depend on their diagnosis. You will receive a comprehensive evaluation that includes clinical assessment, diagnostic testing, and education about their condition and treatment options.
