Described as ‘the next cardiac' epidemic’, heart valve disease affects over one million Canadians, yet public awareness remains low.

Heart valve disease is common, serious but treatable. Breathlessness, dizziness or fatigue are all signs you might have heart valve disease. But some people have no symptoms at all.

A simple stethoscope check is the first step to detect heart valve disease. So a regular stethoscope check with a healthcare provider is a good idea.

So if you feel like something’s wrong, then listen to your heart!
