Heart Valve Evaluation and Treatment Planning by Dr. Purvez Grant
If you are searching for heart valve disease treatment in Pune, you are usually trying to understand symptoms such as breathlessness, fatigue, murmur, fainting, reduced exercise tolerance, or an abnormal Echo report. Dr. Purvez Grant evaluates patients with valve narrowing, valve leakage, and related heart symptoms at Ruby Hall Clinic, Pune, and helps decide whether you need monitoring, medicine, or an advanced structural treatment pathway.
What heart valve disease actually means
Heart valve disease means one or more valves are not opening or closing normally. A narrowed valve restricts blood flow. A leaking valve allows blood to move in the wrong direction. Over time, either problem can increase strain on the heart and lead to breathlessness, fatigue, rhythm problems, swelling, or heart failure.
This page is separate from the structural-heart page because it focuses first on symptoms, diagnosis, severity review, and treatment decision-making. Structural procedures such as TAVI or balloon valvuloplasty come later, only when the valve problem is severe enough to need intervention.
When should valve disease be assessed urgently?
Emergency warning signs
Fainting, severe breathlessness, chest discomfort, rapid decline in walking ability, sudden swelling, or Echo findings suggesting severe valve narrowing.
Progressive symptom pattern
Breathlessness that is worsening, repeated fatigue, lower exercise tolerance, palpitations, or a known murmur with new symptoms.
High-risk background
Older age, rheumatic disease history, atrial fibrillation, heart failure symptoms, prior abnormal Echo, or prior valve intervention needing follow-up.
How heart valve disease is evaluated in Pune
- Symptom review covering breathlessness, chest discomfort, fainting, swelling, rhythm symptoms, and effort tolerance.
- Clinical examination and history of murmur, rheumatic fever, prior Echo findings, or previous cardiac treatment.
- ECG and especially 2D Echo review to determine which valve is involved and how severe the narrowing or leakage is.
- Assessment of heart chamber size, pumping function, rhythm issues, and whether the valve disease is already affecting the rest of the heart.
- Treatment plan based on whether the condition needs follow-up, medical support, balloon valvuloplasty, TAVI, or structural-heart escalation.
Treatment pathways for valve disease
Valve treatment depends on which valve is affected, how severe the problem is, and whether the patient is symptomatic, high-risk, or already showing heart-function impact.
Observation and Echo follow-up
Suitable for mild or moderate valve disease where symptoms are limited and the priority is tracking progression properly.
Medication and symptom control
Used when fluid symptoms, rhythm issues, BP concerns, or heart-failure overlap need stabilization before or instead of intervention.
Balloon valvuloplasty pathway
An option in selected narrowed valve conditions, especially mitral stenosis, after detailed suitability review.

For selected patients with severe aortic stenosis or high-risk valve disease needing catheter-based intervention rather than conventional surgery.
Learn More →Heart failure and rhythm review
Needed when valve disease is already contributing to fluid retention, atrial fibrillation, or worsening pump function.

Valve disease often sits between general cardiology and advanced structural intervention. Some patients need only follow-up. Others need timely escalation because the valve disorder is severe or already affecting rhythm, pressure, or heart function. Dr. Grant’s role is to identify that transition point and guide the patient appropriately.
His structural-heart and valvuloplasty background makes this page a true topic extension rather than a generic variant of the existing TAVI content.
