Heart valve disease affects more than 1.5 million people over the age of 65 in the UK

Health is the most important thing in life, and it needs to be taken care of. A regular stethoscope check is the first step in detecting heart valve disease, which is one of the biggest killers in Great Britain. It can include symptoms like breathlessness, dizziness, and fatigue, and sometimes there can be no symptoms at all. Heart valve disease affects more than 1.5 million people over the age of 65 in the UK, and a lot of people are not being diagnosed and treated early enough, although it can often be detected through a simple stethoscope check.
