In this enlightening episode, we're joined by Dr. Julia Ladna, a cardiologist, to explore valvular heart disease (VHD)—a condition affecting millions but often misunderstood. Dr. Ladna breaks down the fundamentals of valve disorders like stenosis and regurgitation, highlights which valves are most vulnerable, and discusses both age-related and infectious causes.

We dive deep into the risk factors, early warning signs, and modern diagnostic tools such as echocardiograms. Dr. Ladna also walks us through the full spectrum of treatments, from medication to surgical and transcatheter approaches like TAVR, and shares insights on recovery outcomes for traditional versus minimally invasive procedures.

In true Hybrid Healing Hour fashion, we also explore holistic and integrative practices that support valve health, from diet and lifestyle changes to complementary therapies used alongside conventional cardiology.

Hear personal patient stories, the latest trends in valve care, and get trusted resources and advice for those newly diagnosed or caring for someone with VHD.

This episode is a must-listen for patients, caregivers, and anyone curious about the intersection of modern medicine and holistic heart health.
