Ever felt your heart racing or pounding in your chest?​

It’s not always because of stress, excitement or exercise. Sometimes, it could be your heart valves sending a warning.¹​

Heart valves are like tiny doors, guiding blood flow through your heart. When they’re damaged, they may not open or close properly – making your heart work harder to keep blood moving.¹​

That added strain can lead to your heart to beat fast or feel like it’s thumping – a sensation doctors call palpitations.¹​

If your heart often feels like it's racing, fluttering and thumping hard, place your and ask your doctor to listen to your heart.

However, heart valve disease is treatable if caught early.³​

Place your and ask your doctor to listen to your heart.

Did you know a throat infection can affect your heart?¹​

When you get a strep throat infection, your body’s immune system tries to fight it. But sometimes, it gets confused and starts attacking your own heart and its valves. This immune reaction leads to rheumatic heart disease – a condition where the heart valves are permanently damaged.¹​

Heart valves are soft flaps that keep blood flowing in the right direction.² If they become swollen and damaged due to conditions such as rheumatic heart disease, they may not open or close properly, leading to heart valve disease.¹,²​

Even a single severe case of sore throat can cause this damage, and repeated infections increases the risk.¹​

That’s why it’s so important to treat sore throats early and seriously. What seems like a minor problem today could lead to major heart issues tomorrow.¹​

Place your and ask your doctor to listen to your heart.

Did you know that your chest pain, breathlessness or fatigue, which you might mistake as signs of old age, could be heart-related?
