Dr. Ashish Khanijo is a Heart Specialist doctor, he provides expert Heart Valve Surgery in Pune. He holds an experience of 12+ years in his field. The heart is just like a pump made of muscle tissue having four pumping chambers. In which two are on the upper side called atria, and two on the lower side called ventricles. The job of these Valves between each of the heart’s pumping chambers is to keep blood flowing forward through the heart. When these valves are damaged or don’t work the intended way because of some reasons like ageing, birth defects etc. When one or more valves becomes stiff, the heart has to work harder to pump the blood through the valve.
