Structural heart disease occurs from aging, injury or infection and most often affects the heart valves.
As the heart beats, a precisely timed series of opening and closing of valves keeps blood flowing in the right direction. All four valves aortic, mitral, tricuspid and pulmonic need to open wide, then shut tight in rhythm.
Heart valves may not close all the way (regurgitation) or open sufficiently (stenosis). These conditions can develop over time and often don’t need treatment. Sometimes blood thinners can help. If left untreated, however, structural heart disease can lead to serious complications.

This couple did everything together for 56 years. Then one of them died alone of COVID-19 Maggie Menderski, Louisville Courier Journal
The Kellys went everywhere together, so much so, Dave always hoped that’s how he and Shirley would go to the grave.
“We’re going together,” he’d tell her, not wanting to live without her.
“That’s the way it’s going to be.”
Dave, 77, of Shepherdsville was a beloved ice cream man, a master of car repairs and a father of four. He lived through and fought in the Vietnam War. He had big brown eyes, and a dynamic sense of humor. He and Shirley ate together, slept together, watched the Honeymooners together and went to Kentucky Kingdom together. As a retirement project, they worked in his ice cream truck together for more than a decade.
