symptoms of failing TAVR.
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) is a procedure used to treat aortic valve stenosis. While TAVR can significantly improve symptoms of aortic stenosis, there can be complications or issues that arise after the procedure. Symptoms of a failing TAVR may include:
1. **Shortness of Breath**: This can be a sign of heart failure or valve dysfunction.
2. **Chest Pain or Discomfort**: May indicate ischemia or other heart-related issues.
3. **Fatigue or Weakness**: Ongoing fatigue after a TAVR procedure may indicate that the heart is not functioning properly.
4. **Swelling**: Edema, particularly in the legs or abdomen, may suggest heart failure.
5. **Palpitations**: Irregular heartbeats or a rapid heart rate can occur with valve dysfunction.
6. **Dizziness or Lightheadedness**: This may indicate changes in blood flow or pressure.
7. **Syncope**: Fainting or near-fainting episodes could suggest significant hemodynamic changes.
8. **New or Worsening Heart Murmur**: A change in the heart sound may indicate valve dysfunction.
9. **Infection Symptoms**: Fever, chills, or swelling around the valve site may indicate infection (endocarditis).
If any of these symptoms occur after TAVR, it's essential to contact a healthcare provider promptly for assessment and appropriate management. Regular follow-up care is also necessary to monitor valve performance and overall heart health.
