Valve Disease and Repair

October 13th, 2025

Courtney Krathen, DO, Interventional Cardiologist at Deborah Specialty Physicians at Mt. Laurel

Each year, more than 5 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with heart valve disease. Heart valve disease refers to conditions that prevent one or more of the valves in the heart from functioning properly. These valves —aortic, mitral, pulmonary, and tricuspid — ensure proper blood flow through the heart and to the rest of the body. The valves in the heart can malfunction and have a narrowing of the valve opening, limiting blood flow or an incomplete closure, causing a valve to leak.

On this episode of the Hurley in the Morning radio show, learn about valve disease and repair with Interventional Cardiologist Courtney Krathen, DO. Valve disease risk factors, diagnosis, and treatments are discussed, as well as valve repair and replacement.
